I grew up in the Adirondack mountains of New York State, and graduated from high school in 1999 with interests in art, digital illustration, CAD and photo journalism. This background helped lay the foundation to embark on a four year intense undergraduate program in Computer Art, at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. Living, working, studying and exploring New York City yielded a unique life experience in itself.

My field of concentration focused on motion graphics where advanced techniques of how to solve visual problems with After Effects were learned. Digital cinematography, 3D modeling and animation were also an integrate part of my training. Since graduation I have enjoyed working on an independent digital educational video, web site designs, digital photography, 3D modeling projects, graphic design and working in carpentry.
