Nashville based creative nerd

Creative mind with a love of hands-on, do-it-yourself projects and repairs. Studio, home, or driveway, I take every upgrade or fix as a challenge and an opportunity to learn something new. It usually turns out well.

Innovative motion and still photographer who enjoys non-standard methods for creating interesting effects. I push to make as much as possible happen before the file ever hits the hard drive. It’s that much more satisfying if it happens on film first!

My ideal position would be in a unique, creative environment that requires thoughtful creativity to solve problems.

In my free time, I’m a gamer! Including racing and drifting simulation in my home-made simulator chassis connected to my PC that I pieced together and assembled myself. Other than racing games, I enjoy games that put my creativity and problem-solving to work. Open-world survival-crafting games and building/management type games are usually my go-to genre, but I also enjoy RPGs, space flight games, and have a soft spot for the Pokemon franchise.

Of course, I also spend a lot of time working on my cars (a 1999 Lexus GS300 and a 1989 Toyota Supra) and in my home studio which, at the moment, I use primarily to sell items on eBay. I also have a 3D printer in the studio that I’m still very much in the process of learning to use.

I also sometimes enjoy making music and recently acquired a Shamisen on a recent trip to Japan that makes a fine addition to my collection!
