About

I am a Lighting Artist for Outpost VFX, working on the lighting and texturing in scenes for Star Trek Picard and Westworld.

Outside the world of lighting and VFX, I am a Dungeon Master for a DnD campaign of 6 people. I also play basketball, love to work out, and teach tennis on the side. I have a weakness for outstanding and bad sci-fi films when it comes to movie genres.

The father of a beautiful little girl and hopefully grows up to love art as much as her parents do (or at least Lord of the Rings and Dr Who).
