About Me
I'm a senior animator currently living in Vancouver. I've ran an animation department at Smoking Gun Interactive for over three years doing character animation, rigging, cinematics, physics asset setup, motion tree setup, LOD setup, morph targets and various other things along an animation pipeline that bring a game to life. I also help out with modeling, texturing, and other art related adventures.
My career started out at Relic Entertainment where I was lucky enough to be a part of Dawn of War I and II. At Relic I met so many people that inspired and pushed me to be a better artist everyday. Because of them I got to be a part of art shows (eg) and various other fun projects.
Relic is also where I met a lot of the people I currently play ice hockey with out at UBC. Hockey has been a part of my life since I was old enough to walk.
I spend the rest of my time figure drawing, playing guitar or making videos from when my wife and I get to escape to various places. Our latest trip was in Cambodia and Vietnam. A very amazing experience!
