I am a 3D Supervisor based on Los Angeles with over 25 years’ experience in digital animation production. In that time, I have been able to serve on a wide variety of projects ranging from feature films, television series, commercials, and stereoscopic ride films. I have worked the full spectrum of CG production including on-set supervision, concept design, design of production pipelines, and coordination of budgets and project bids. I am a 3D generalist with a specialty in problem solving dynamics-based effects.
