I grew up in Linden, Michigan, a rural town south of Flint.  As a child, I loved to record family events using my parents Panasonic VHS camera. By age 10, I bought a camcorder of my own and enjoyed creating shorts with friends and family, including a 70 minute adaptation of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None in the 7th grade.

​

    My love for film quickly evolved into a passion for post production, where I finally landed on VFX.  Setting out to become a Compositor, I made the decision to continue my education at the world class Visual Effects department at the Savannah College of Art & Design.

​

    I completed school remotely in 2021, which allowed me to start my career at Cadence before graduation, working and learning part time, and afterwards moving to a full time position.

​

    Since then, I've gathered lots of experience working on feature length and episodic projects.

​

     When I'm not working I enjoy running, taking pictures, watching movies, playing tennis, and spending time with friends and family.
