I am an accomplished animator and FX artist. I am a strong modeler and I enjoy texturing and lighting. I can take directions and am able to solve problems as they arise. I have been using Lightwave and Maya since version 1. I've been away from Maya for a while, but I'm willing to work hard to catch up. I've been a graphics programmer for 15 years; so learning graphics software is fairly intuitive for me. I'm hopefull to find something in the Hollywood / Burbank area since I live in Santa Clarita, but I'd willing to move too. It's been a horribly rough few years, so I'm willing to do almost anything, really. I'd very much like to work on a feature if at all possible, or series work.
