Summary

I love all aspects of creating, Digital or traditional. creatures, fantasy, sci-fi, and mythology are my focus. I also enjoy working on products from creation to packaging, creating a professional unified final product. I'm currently digital sculptor for NECA toys and have taught digital media at East Tennessee State university for over 6 years. I enjoy getting to keep up my skills working on professional real world products and then passing those skills on to my students at the University.
I have a B.S. degree in Digital Media and a Masters Degree in Art (sculpture)
I worked as an illustrator, graphic designer, sculptor, product designer, game designer, and large format printer for 15 years in the carnival game industry. These products where sold world wide. Customers included: U.S. military (for family activities), the White House (Michelle Obama event), NBC Celebrity Apprentice (team Clay Aiken), Disney, Carnival Cruise line, and more...
