I’ve spent more than three decades working in visual effects and post production as a VFX Supervisor, Project Lead, Senior Flame Artist and Conform Artist. Depending on the project, my role can range from individual shot work and finishing to supervising teams and helping develop the creative and technical approach to a larger project.

I started working on Flame and Inferno early in their history and spent four years at Industrial Light & Magic as a Senior Inferno Artist, working on films including Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Terminator Salvation.

Most of my career has been in commercials, working with agencies, directors and production companies on projects for Apple, Google, BMW, Adidas, Target, Beats and many others, as well as with artists including Beyoncé, Katy Perry, The Weeknd and Elton John. Over the years that work has included hands-on compositing and finishing, conform, VFX supervision and project leadership, often moving between those responsibilities as the needs of a job change.

More recently, AI has become a significant part of my work. I’ve incorporated AI tools into production workflows for roto and matte work, cleanup and object removal, image manipulation, upscaling, shot development and other VFX tasks, often alongside Flame and more traditional techniques. These tools have opened up new creative possibilities and expanded what we can realistically accomplish within a typical production schedule, including work that would have been impractical to take on only a few years ago.

Today my work spans the creative, technical and supervisory sides of post production, from the details of an individual shot to the larger requirements of a complex project. That range, along with a career spent adapting to changes in both technology and production, is what I bring to each job.
