RESUME
- ABOUT ME -
I had the great fortune to get my start in the video game industry back in 2004 with Iron Lore Entertainment. Since that time I have worked on some amazing AAA games with a lot of really talented people and studios. I have over a decade of experience with skills ranging from world building to hard surface modeling, texturing, leading a few map art teams, skybox composition and creation, terrain map generation, level lighting, some photogrammetry knowledge, and rounded out by a strong traditional art foundation. I love working in the video game industry and am always looking to improve my artistic abilities, skill sets, and push my work quality.

Skills
I have years of experience performing all aspects of world building from scene composition to environment modeling and texturing, set dressing, scene lighting, skybox composition and layout, map art lead experience, and level optimization. I am proficient with a multitude of software and toolsets including quick ramp up time and use of several proprietary game engines such as Call of Duty's Radiant editor, 343 Industries Halo editor Sapien/Bonobo, id Studios idTech 6 on Doom as well as a few others. I have also gained some familiarity with Photogrammetry techniques and process, terrain generation software such as World Creator 2 and World Machine (gathering LIDAR data for heightmap creation etc.) This is all combined with years of use and familiarity of a lot of the industry standard software such as Maya, Photoshop, etc. Below is a sampling of the software I have been using at various companies.
Maya
Unity
3DS Max
ZBrush
Photoshop
World Machine
Unreal
Engine 4
