As an artist and
Visual Effects Supervisor,
I have years of experience
designing, creating, and directing
some of movie's most magical imagery.
I have a comprehensive and in-depth mastery
of end-to-end Virtual Production, Visual Effects,
Editorial, DI, and Post Production workflows.
And because I'm a hands-on computer geek
with excellent 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,  
storyboards, previz, and leading teams on-set,
as I am contributing to breakdowns, budgets,
and guiding 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 15 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 actor performances
of recognized personalities,
including famous musicians such as
Michael Jackson and the band ABBA.
‍
During this time, I have established and managed
two VFX production companies, and built and overseen
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 leveraging machine learning tools for
efficient construction of facial rigs, and
creating a cloud-first production pipeline that,
amongst other things, decentralizes asset management.
These new workflow models have
no reliance on local servers nor local artist workstations,
and effectively reduces office footprints, which has
allowed for rapid scaling of tools, technologies,
and access to global talent.
‍
I am an active member of the
AMPAS Visual Effects branch and the DGA.
I'm also an aspiring master gardener.
