35 years of movie magic ...

I've been fortunate to have kept busy in both LA and Vancouver, working alongside amazing artists and talented friends who've inspired me every step of the way.

Various roles in the filmmaking process have helped me understand the hows and whys of decision-making in high-pressure film projects. In some scenarios, choices come down to the budget; in others, it's time (or lack thereof).

War for the Plane Of the Apes art department model
Smallville Pharos mold
Gremlins reproduction
Edison & LEO 1/6th scale set and puppet

Every level of collaboration is equally as important when creating a film project. I've been a director, sound recorder, art director, mold-maker, sculptor, and visual FX model builder. My occupational variation has kept my career interesting!
