I've been a Flame Artist going on 15 years, and Nuke Compositor for the past 4 years, handling a full spectrum of media:  film, commercials,
episodic television, music videos, and motion graphics.  I've worked in both lead and support capacities, acted as 2D supervisor on-set, and
managed numerous client-driven interactive sessions.  

My compositing skillset includes extensive experience in the following:  multi-pass CG compositing, 2.5D and 3D pan & tile systems, bluescreen/greenscreen matte extraction, complex clean-ups, color grading, conforming, and motion graphic/typography animation. 

I also possess strong Photoshop skills, and am familiar with Flare, After Effects, and PF Track.  In addition, I've worked as a Senior
Broadcast Designer for 6 years, winning two BDA (Broadcast Design Association) awards.
