I consider myselft a 3D Generalist with a focus on Lighting. My experience equates to five years of commercial freelance production for clients, mostly product oriented, with one film oriented project outlined on my demo reel. Over those four years, I have independently done work for Liquitex Paint, Coca Cola Inc., Shoe Box Pictures, Colgate, and AESC Manhattan. These jobs included negotiating, modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, and compositing, through to delivering to the client's satisfaction, on time and within budget. I have a generalist skill set and am currently focusing on the area of lighting and photo-realism.

In addition to freelancing, over the last four years I had the great privilege of teaching 3D and graphic design. I taught classes in Lightwave 3D, XSI 4, Photoshop, Illustrator, Graphic Design, and even an Introduction to Computers class. Prior to that I was a multimedia and marketing project manager for Telcordia Technologies, Inc., a rather large and reputable telecommunications software and services vendor. I developed collateral as well as farmed out work to other vendors and oversaw the production of many marketing campaigns.

I am equally comfortable with Lightwave, XSI, and Maya, and am versed in XP, Linux, and OSX operating systems. Software to me is less important than concept, as I find most applications to be very similar, except Houdini, which is in a class by itself.

I am currently employed on a full time contract as a 3D Generalist/Artist using Maya and Shake in Los Angeles.
