Summary

Hello! Thanks for taking a look at my artwork!

Art has always been a passion of mine and being able to do what I love in my day to day work makes it that much better! Currently, I am a 3D Lab Specialist working at Full Sail University in Orlando, FL, but it has always been a dream/ambition of mine to work in the 3D industry. Whether that be working in films, games, toys, advertisement, etc. I am always up for new challenges and excited to explore more of the industry.

I have been teaching Full Sail University for 5 years and it has been amazing. I primarily show my students the ins and outs of Zbrush, general workflows for characters or prop work, as well as some advanced techniques. During my time here I have really taken the time to focus on becoming a better artist and improving my skills, as well as, becoming a better, more articulated mentor and really utilizing all the resources I have at my disposal.
