I thrive working with the creative teams to transition ideas into technical capabilities, safely achieving the desired effect and look in the physical world. Make the public say "How did they do that?"; with one of the greatest joys hearing the wonderment of kids "WOW". I am a creative problem solver in high-risk and fast-paced pressure environments to meet and exceed the artistic vision of effects.
