Successful in my previous endeavors, I decided it was time to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. As a 3D artist, modeling, rigging, texturing, and animation allow me to pursue my artistic passions from childhood. Frustrated by the two-dimensional limitations of paper, I wore out many a sketchpad attempting to create the appearance of three dimensional objects. 3D modeling combines my enthusiasm for computers, games, and the need to create three-dimensional works of art.
