I’ve been on the shop floor since 2015, turning initial ideas into finished physical reality—by whatever means the project demands. Sometimes that means jumping into 3D and firing up a fleet of 3D printers; other times it means grabbing a chain saw, shaping high-density foam, or laying up epoxies and composites by hand.

As a Local 2 Journeyman and department lead, my background is rooted in fine art, traditional SPFX, commercial shop production and cutting edge technologies. I direct builds from early material estimates and crew leadership through final installation. Whether it’s a massive scenic element for a theme park, a high-visibility float for a televised parade, or a single intricate hero prop built for close-up camera scrutiny, I adapt the pipeline to match the spec, budget, and timeline.
