Born and raised in west Texas. Lover of graphic novels, motion pictures, and muzacks. Drawing since i can remember. Always aspired to be in the creative arts field. Attended the Art Institue of Dallas where I was introduced to the professional world of art. 

​

Since then i have dabbled in many fields of commercial art. Bounced around many small production studios working in illustration, 3D modeling, and some motion graphics. First steady gig was through Corgan Associates in their media lab. Worked on architectural pre visualization. Honed my 3D modeling skills there using 3Ds Max. Helped expand the department to take on more creative and entertainment fields by finding creative solutions for clients in need of advertizing campaigns, animated shorts, and special effects for short films. Improving on photoshop skills, hand drawing skills, and creative thinking. Moved on to do contract work for Voyager Learning (Voyager Sopris) where i was hired on to create character desgins, styleboards, storyboarding, and key frame animations for vector based art. All done for interactivce online educational curriculum. Currently I have been creating content for military flight simulators at L-3 Communications. Modeling and texturing vehicles, buildings, and other assets for several programs using Creator and 3Ds max. Improving my skills in photoshop manipulating satellite terrain to suit their needs.

I continue to create and update assets for ongoing projects at Voyager Sopris through short term contracts. Taking on various illustration and concepting tasks through freelance.
