I like to have fun and create cool stuff. My main interests lie in 3D modeling and motion design/video editing. I fancy the web and interactive design as well. You could call me a "digital creative," if you're into that sort of thing.
I have held challenging positions with Advanced Concepts at Lockheed Martin and international marketing at Marriott International.
