“I’m very fortunate to work for Cirque. They have let me stretch my skills to go further than I thought possible. Check out one of the many videos I’ve produced. It really is awesome to do it all – video, photography, graphics, After Effects, and even deep voice overs. Ha! Some stock video but you can see my hand modeling.”

“Yesterday, I desperately needed a leave behind for an interview the next day, so in 3 hours I made a couple dotted grid sketch books using bright neon poster board, my printer and a couple staples. I’m pretty happy with how my ‘bright idea’ turned out and they liked it too.”
