    In 2003 I received a silver medalist finish in Skills Canada 3D animation competition. Afterwards I attended University of Lethbridge to earn a degree in New Media. Over the last ten years I have been producing 3D professionally full time job at an ELearning company: ICOM Productions.

    Initially I was the only 3D developer so I developed a generalist skillset. When demand for 3D visuals has grown beyond the capacity of a single developer I was promoted to Team Lead role managing seven 3D developers. As a result I've have developed strong deadline management and organizational skills as well.

    Since the start of University I have done freelancing and tutoring during my spare time.

    At my Job I have worked with more than 100 different clients across many industries including Imperial Oil, Teck Coal, Canadian Tire, Marks Work Warehouse, Telus, SAIT, Government of Alberta, Husky, CHC Helicopters, Shell and Suncore.
