I love videogames, my goodness. For the past 35 years I've played everything under the Sun, and for 25 of those years I've immersed myself in all facets of game development. Back when you learned 'every' aspect of game creation, I was a modeler, texture artist, coder and now primarily, a character and cinematic animator with a healthy dash of tech animation. I was given opportunities to animate on such AAA titles as Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands, Prey and the highly anticipated System Shock Remake.My primary area of expertise is character and cinematic animation, including animation direction and outsource teams management. In addition, I'm an independent game developer, creating virtual reality experiences and games.My skillset and specialties lie directly in character animation, including a penchant for authentic first-person animation; great for cinematics and VR. Additionally, I'm an accomplished technical animator, modeler and material artist. I have been a part of most disciplines of development, including design, concept, and coding/scripting (e.g. Blueprint, JS and C#).My development software proficiency includes Maya, Motion Builder, 3D Studio Max, Unreal Engine and Unity (including proprietary engines and tool sets), in addition to tasking and version control software such as JIRA, Perforce and Notion.
