By day I am a QA tester working on Call Of Duty Black Ops 4; by night I am an obsessive artist working into the wee hours of the morning. Hungry to make my dreams a reality, I use every resource, every opportunity, every ounce of my will and cunning to make incredible art that will allow me to pay back those pesky student loans.
My artist training began in 2009 at Art Center College of Design and Pasadena City College. I taught my friends what I was learning and together we cobbled together an award winning animated short. Next I earned my BFA in Fine Art at Biola University before wandering through the wilderness that is breaking into the game industry.
My recent exploits include advancing my prowess in Substance Designer and learning Marmoset. I am always focused on turning weaknesses into strengths. Therefore my next project will focus on learning more Zbrush and creating a small photo real scene. As long as I keep improving and learning from my mistakes, I know i'll make it.
