I have always had a great interest in art at a very young age and began to put anything illustrative in front of me which gave me a burning desire to create, I took off into a world of art and design that I would never let go. Throughout my college years, I constantly broke new boundaries with my art while working with creative individuals who helped push me to reach new areas of inspiration.

 

After college, I spent the next 8 years working in the television animation industry as an experienced animator and character designer for children's television shows for some of the top studios in the New England area. I struggled to keep my head above the water in this cut-throat industry, but managed to nab a Day-Time Emmy nomination for my work on the animation introduction to "The Rosie O'Donnell Show".

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been working in the video game industry as an experienced UI/Shell Artist/Animator for the last 13 years. The skills I have gained while working in the video game business have made me a well-rounded, qualified UI Shell and 3D artist. Most of the games I helped work on have won tons of awards and achievements, and even have had my work show up in and on the cover of notable video game magazines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During my employment with Harmonix, I helped create the look and identity of the Rock Band franchise. Over the years I have gone beyond the scope of the artist towards the creator. I have always been a do-everything type of guy who can handle any objective that is tasked to me. Some of my more notable skills have been: storyboarding, UI layout/animation, particle effects, concept, and finally Creative visual pitch package provider.

 

 

I currently reside in Niskayuna, New York where I hang out with my wife Kelly, my son Gavin, and daughter Ariana. I try and keep up with sketching, painting, and conceptualizing new ideas on a daily basis and I thrive working with creative individuals who push me to new levels in my art and animation.
