Summary

I'm a video game artist with 10 years of experience. In recent years I have focused on texture and material creation as a Texture Artist.

I spend a lot of time instructing for Think Tank Training Center. I teach the Advanced Environments Production class and was responsible for the Schools' Substance Designer Coursework.

I like to stay busy with other art outside of 3D including Sculpture, aquarium keeping and miniature painting.

I run a youtube channel focused on Substance Designer Education
