I was born and raised in Texas, where I was always artistically inclined, having won the Scholastic Art Award in the 7th grade.  I continued experimenting in different mediums before moving to California and joining the United States Marine Corps.  I started attending art school while still serving in the military, eventually earning my first major industry contract with Pixomondo, working on Journey 2, and assisting with Green Lantern.  I have since continued my career in film, branching out to games as well, such as having the opportunity to work on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 at Treyarch before moving to television with The Walking Dead, The Orville, and several other shows before I made my way back to film, where I served as a Senior Generalist on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and the first season of The Mandalorian.  In addition to work as an artist, I've also participated in various projects as an actor, stunt performer, or even a voice acting. I enjoy the pace and structure of working on major releases as well as the creative freedom of independent projects, and am always looking to improve myself and learn new skills either in film or games.
