Summary:

Where to begin...
In the mid 90's I was a drummer in a band called Thirteenth Floor. We had our share of up's and downs but things started to fall apart after we screwed up a deal with Columbia Records. That said, it was time for me to move on... I decided to pack up and leave Cleveland Ohio and head out to the west coast to go to art school where I was taking classes in Computer Arts with a focus in 3d modeling and special FX. I started getting heavy into using LightWave 3d and had an opportunity to have one of my models included as content on the LW6 CD. While in school I found work at Signatures Network which was Sony Signatures at the time. In case you care Signatures Network is the leading Celebrity merchandising and licensing company. I started out doing basic web production work and little creative things like making banners, but soon worked my way up to Associate Producer/Developer and was in charge of the small team we had developing sites. Back in January of 2001 with all the dot com busts, the company downsized and left me as the sole developer/designer, at the time all of our sites were basically static HTML and that just wasn't going to work... So I learned PHP and within a few months had all of our sites dynamic and manageable, and have been adding features ever since. A few sites I have done are:

http://www.kissonline.com
http://www.britneyspears.com
http://www.madonnamusic.com
http://www.3eb.com
Among otheres.

In what little spare time I have (even less now thanks to Torque) I develop and run The 40oz-Warriors which is an online drinking community, and I'm proud of how well it has taken off.

So now it's time to make another change..
I really missed working in three dimensions and to be honest I've grown tired doing things for other people, especially stupid things that I know are complete BS and wrong, yet I have to bite my tongue and do it anyway. So I decided to get into the game industry. Why you ask? Well it as a little bit of everything, modeling., scripting/programming, audio... you get the picture. I'm extremely dedicated, borderline addicted to my projects, yet patient enough to know that things don't happen overnight. For more information about me and my work, you can take a look at my online portfolio.
