I started all this in 2009, somewhat by accident, as an artist’s apprentice to sculptor James G. Moore. Since then, my knowledge and experience in both traditional and technology-based artistic media have led me to create the types of work I now do in film, commercially, and within my own portfolio.

I have had a lifelong compulsion to create in some form or another and have always been driven by my passion for physics, mathematics, biology, zoology, geology, history, monsters, creatures, fantasy, science fiction, multiverse theory, time travel, folklore, the supernatural, the arcane and immortality, the Old West, and all the great stuff that makes the world such an interesting place.

As an artist, I believe there is no greater joy than getting to add back to a world that too often takes away.
