So, who are you, anyway?
Excellent question! To answer, let me start at the beginning.
As a small boy, I was convinced I'd be a paleontologist. As many small boys would agree, I thought at the time that dinosaurs were obviously the coolest subject ever.
Then I got a little older and saw Jurassic Park (because dinosaurs were still cool). That film, followed by several others, convinced me to pursue a career in special effects. I studied how to do that in school, moved out to L.A., and got a job at an effects shop for a while.
More currently, I'm splitting my time between effects work, starting an online store for my collectibles, and developing a new writing/art project.
Things I love: sculpting maquettes and figurines, tinkering with animatronics, the ocean and everything in it, watching lots of movies, and anything steampunk-related.
...Oh, and dinosaurs are still pretty awesome.
