I have been working in the game industry for the past 12 years. My artistic career stated in an unlikely place, the Army. I worked as a 25M; Multimedia Illustrator. This position gave me graphic design experience and the opportunity to work on murals. One year into my military service I was given the chance to work on a classified project that focused on digital simulation of occupied areas to help soldiers navigate unfamiliar terrain. I continued to work on that project, creating textures, vehicles models, and environmental assets until I was honorably discharged from the military in 2007.

While still in the military, I started college courses. During this same time, I began managing sub-contractors on projects for Dell, Cisco and Sun Microsystems.

In 2007 I graduated college and began teaching at my Alma Mater, Ferris State University. Classes I have experience teaching include, Digital Sculpting (Zbrush), Traditional Drawing (graphite), Traditional Sculpting (Clay). I continue to teach at the Grand Rapids campus and enjoy it immensely.

In 2008 I began working at YETi CGI as Lead Artist. During the past five years I have shipped over 20 titles. Some of my clients include Zynga, Disney, Kixeye, and Nickelodeon.

Currently working as a Character Artist at Electornic Arts.
