Seeing Rob Bottin’s brilliant work in John Carpenter’s “The Thing” and Rick Baker’s transformation wizardry in John Landis’ “American Werewolf in London” were the defining moments of my youth, opening my eyes to the impact that special effects could have on entertainment.
While I pursued a career in makeup and creature effects, I was pulled into a hard left turn by a Commodore Amiga and set my sights on digital animation instead. Ten years at the seminal TV VFX house Foundation Imaging let me work on such groundbreaking shows as Babylon 5, Star Trek: Voyager and Enterprise, and Lost.
Stints at Eden FX, Pixomondo, and Synaptic followed before I made the move from vendor-side supervision to production on ABC’s “Kevin (Probably) Saves The World” and “Emergence”, FX’s “Y: The Last Man” and “What We Do In The Shadows”, and Amazon’s “Gen-V”.
With over 30 years of film and television experience, I bring a wealth of expertise and a collaborative spirit to every production. They say that if you do what you love then you’ll never work a day in your life, but I disagree — I do what I love, and it is absolutely work, but it’s work that I look forward to every day.
