I started my art career as a fine artist, though as I studied I was wanting to expand my skills.  I wanted to appease to a wider audience and be able to engage with communities with my art.  I also gave graphic design a try, but finally found my calling when I discovered video game art.  A place where I can create art that people can experience and engage with on a level they never could in a fine art gallery.  I love creating art and making things that people love to engage with.  My programs of choice are Maya and Photoshop, though I also use xNormal, Zbrush, crazy bump, quixel and others.

 

• I am a comic book enthusiast and amateur collector.  I mostly collect silver age Flash comics.

• I am a huge football fan, mostly college, and a die hard University of Utah fan.

• I love Legos, especially the mega block Halo ones.

• My favorite video games of all time include: Mega Man X, Halo: Reach, King of the Monsters 2, NFS: Most Wanted and Borderlands.

• My favorite video game character is Protoman

 

I recently finished my masters in the Entertainment Arts and Engineering program at the University of Utah and I am a 3D Environment and Props artist.  I am currently looking for work as a 3D artist, and I live in Salt Lake City, Utah with my wonderful wife Stephanie.
