For close to 20 years, I've done just about every visual job in games you can see with your eyes.
Having hands on experience with the tasks of the people I'm leading, this experience has positioned me to be a versatile and connected Art Director. The deep intimate understanding of what goes into each “task and ask” allows me to manage and lead from a place of experience, empathy and understanding.
My passions include:
- The harmonious marriage of gameplay systems and the fantasy being sold.
- A focus on the "FEELING" being imbued into a game
- Great Animation & stunning VFX
- Leading a team with a vision to great personal and professional success
- Slicing up big scary ambitions into smaller, obtainable goals, hitting realistic targets, thus creating consistent and steady progress towards a complete vision.
My focus is to support, empower and direct with a hands on approach so that my team launches off and above my shoulders. Being a son of two teachers, and having been a teacher myself for many years, education and problem solving is at the core of my being. I love to learn, will never stop and feel there is no problem too large to solve, and no new skill too unknown to explore.
I pride myself on the ability to lead and inspire enthusiasm, excitement and pride in a project. Be it through hands-on work or high level leadership development. Then, leans on years of knowledge gained, skills acquired and experience garnered to help guide a team to great high level and personal success.
