My qualifications include over 20 years of experience working as a 3D artist in the professional game industry. I am a Studio Art Director at Emerald City Games and a Co-founder of Switchblade Monkeys and the 3D Art lead on its debut title, Secret Ponchos. Before venturing into the world of Indie Development, I was a Senior Character/Vehicle artist in Radical Entertainment working on Prototype 2, and was an Assistant Lead Character Artist at Silicon Knights for X-Men Destiny and Too Human. I graduated from Alberta College or Art and Design in 2003 under the discipline of media arts and technology. On the following year, I received my certificate in Character Animation at Sheridan College. I was also placed top 8 in a world wide game art competition, Dominance War IV. Being an avid gamer and a passionate artist, I have spent most of my life pursuing a career as a game artist.

My goal is to perfect my craft in this digital media, from conceptualization to the creation of game assets.Shipped Titles:• Lionheart - Darkmoon (Emerald City Games - 2017)• Secret Poncho Most Wanted (Switchblade Monkeys (Steam) - 2014)• Secret Poncho (Switchblade Monkeys (PS4) - 2014)• Prototype 2 (Radical Entertainment/Activision - 2012)• X-men Destiny (Silicon Knights/Activision - 2011)• Darksiders-Wrath of War (Vigil/Silicon Knights - 2010)• Too Human (Silicon Knights/Microsoft - 2008)Specialties: • Establishing art and content for new IPs.• Managing in-house and outsourcing art teams.• Research and experiment with tools to improve workflow.• Art tools training.
