I enjoy conjuring moments of visual glee.
I particularly like making sene of complexity,
often interconnecting emerging technologies and design,
and guiding a vision with
creative experience, instinct, and persistence.
‍
As a Visual Effects Supervisor,
I design, create, and direct CG content
to produce magical imagery
for movies, tv, and musical performances.
‍
I have a comprehensive and in-depth mastery
of Live Action, Virtual Production,
Visual Effects, and Editorial workflows.
And because I'm a hands-on computer geek
with good interpersonal skills,
I often work on the studio-side
as much as I do embedded on 
the vendor-side of a production.
I am just as skilled working directly with Production,  
guiding storyboards, previz, and leading teams on-set,
as I am constructing breakdowns, budgets,
and directing large in-house crews of artists
through complex asset builds,
animations, lighting, and
final composites.
‍
I have been nominated for an Oscar three times,
most recently for my contributions to Kong: Skull Island,
and have won twice both Oscar and BAFTA awards 
for Avatar and Forrest Gump.

Over the last 17 years, I have been one of the
industry leaders in Virtual Production and the
persistent drive toward realtime visual effects
and more believable digital characters.
My focus has been on capturing and
faithfully reproducing famed personas and performances,
including musicians
Michael Jackson and the band ABBA.
‍
During this time, I have established and managed
two VFX production companies, and a
new production office of 60+ within a large VFX vendor.
I have also hired and managed software development teams
to modernize production workflows
by building a decentralized cloud-first production pipeline,
and by leveraging machine learning tools for
efficient construction of facial rigs.
‍
I am an active member of the
AMPAS Visual Effects branch and the DGA.
I'm also an aspiring master gardener.
