About Me
I'm a multimedia professional and developer living in Asheville, NC. I work on a variety of different projects. I created this site to showcase some of the work I've been involved with and the many hats I wear in my professional life: Video Producer / Animator, Colorist, Voiceover Artist, and Developer.
When I'm not working, I spend my free time with my wife, 3 kids, 1 corgi, and 1 cat. You will often find me in at my mountaintop home near Asheville, NC or in the woods hiking or mountain biking.
