About

Born in Minneapolis, raised mostly in Cincinnati. Eight years in the film business, twenty since building visual content technology.

Born in Minneapolis, raised mostly in Cincinnati, I've spent my whole career in the room where someone wants something amazing, on a schedule, on a budget.

First in Hollywood: eight years in story development at Warner Bros. and MTV Films. Then twenty years building visual content technology for agencies big and boutique, Fortune 500s and one-owner shops, from Flash to mobile to 3D to the AI pipelines on this site.

The line I carry comes from filmmaker John Milius, who caught me looking gutted in a production meeting as a film's budget got cut and said, "Kid, this business ain't about art, it's about commerce. Art is nice if it happens." Words that still drive me today.

Off the clock I build movie props, animatronic monsters, and things out of wood. I like the creative process, and I like a break from screens.

What I want now is to be part of this technology as it advances, helping find ways to augment the ideas and stories people tell.
