Sculptor
I have been a Sculptor with McFarlane Toys for over 9 years and have had the position of Production Assistant for about 5 years. I have made the switch over to the digital world, so I am also able to apply my sculpting experience to the worlds of 3D modeling. I am comfortable in Maya, ZBrush and Mudbox.
