I started my professional career in Video Games; Went on to Animation; went back to games; and now I’m excited to see what the future holds.
I’ve been a generalist with most of my professional experience in Asset work, and Pipeline management and optimization.
I’m originally from Texas but I’ve been in the Bay Area for over 10 years and love it.
When I’m not doing family stuff I like biking, hiking and I’m starting to get into doing yoga.

Sometimes you say something and it just sticks with you.
“Is that new feature really worth the development time? Is the juice worth the squeeze?”
I’ve used this phrase in a few meetings regarding decision making. It tends to crack people up for some reason, maybe because they have never heard it before. I guess that’s how my ‘catch-phrase’ came into being. It’s not about being contrarian, but more about knowing when it’s best to proceed with a new feature, another day of modeling, one more meeting etc. This is just one of my many colorful phrases I bring to the table.
