Being born in Michigan near the city of Detroit, you grow up being surrounded by architecture that truly stands on it's own as awe-inspiring even to those who don't understand the intensive labor that goes into building such truly grand structures.

The Detroit Central Station is the center of and the most dominant aspect of a television script I wrote called 'After the 3rd'. This 3D piece I created using 3D Studio Max has become a beneficial form of visual communication in getting the feel of this script across as well as stands on its own as my first and only 3D piece of computer rendered design.

Created in one of my first motion graphics classes using After Effects and Photoshop, our challenge was to create a 30 second bumper that would be displayed before portfolio pieces in the areas of film, motion graphics and animation that showcases our name and who we are as artists.

The concept of this design was to show viewers my potential as a realistic artist using backgrounds of natural textured elements along with colorful and whimsical elements that show the humorous side of my personality.

Mystery has always been a past time that keeps me occupied on rainy days. Whether it be watching a good Morgan Freeman flick or reading Encyclopedia Brown, the world of interactive problem solving cloaked in an aura of darkness and fog always gets my creative juices flowing.

As a result, I decided to try to bring the game of Clue back to life. Catering to the days when mystery and suspense were something anyone could bring to the table. And what could be any better than creating a RPG (Role Playing Game) that the 21+ crowd could have a few drinks over at their local apartment clubhouse.

As an extensive artist in many areas I find music to be one of my favorite "unprofessional" releases. Meaning, I consider myself good at singing and composing, but I would never want to make it a full-time career for the simple fact that it means very much to me.

"Something" is a piece I wrote in 2007 that explores the tragic side of how negative relationships can harm our very soul. It's one of my favorites and thus became the centerpiece for a motion graphics project I created for school that was based around music visualization.

This motion graphic piece was created to display my abilities to establish a campaign surrounding cross-demographics. The goal: to sell foundation to the average heterosexual male. The end result found a way to influence audiences that looking good isn't beautiful, it's rugged perfection.

Created for a short lived podcast, Through The Haze explored sensitive and controversial topics amongst two hosts that fulfilled minorities not often spoken for.
