I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2004. I started my career as an animator and character TD, working on everything from animating on low budget straight-to-DVD features to directing high-end commercial spots and short films. I transitioned to a design role in game development, working on dozens of prototypes and bringing several games from initial prototype phase to final release. I have a strong technical background, with experience in every aspect of game development, from the coding and scripting side to art and vfx creation.
