I am a Compositor and Roto/Paint artist and have been working in Visual Effects for the last 13 years. I love picking up new skills, sharpening old ones, and finding new ways to express myself as an artist. I enjoy learning from the experience of others and continually training myself. I communicate effectively, can take direction and criticism well, have a great work ethic, and discipline which comes from the 4 1/2 years I spent in the Marines. It definitely helps me to excel at any task I put my mind to.
