I've been a filmmaker, both amateur and professional, since 1980. As a child, my friends and I messed with visual effects using a super 8 camera, creating several experimental and short films. In the 90s, we made several short films on video (see above). Currently, I'm part of the crew of Timewarp Films, an independent film company located in Maryland. I serve as the Visual Effects Supervisor, Cinematographer, and Editor.

I have a blog called Tales from the Cellar where I discuss various topics related to filmmaking. Check it out.

I also have an amateur project on the back burner. Some friends and I filmed a quirky sci-fi parody that still needs to be completed. It's called Monster Planet;it's sure to be in instant classic. lol. Here's the trailer:

Here are some FX shots I've worked on, as well as some other photos

Favorite quotes

The perfect man employs his mind as a mirror. It grasps nothing; it refuses nothing. It receives, but does not keep.
--Chuang Tzu

[A] truly human-hearted person is [someone] with a slight touch of rascality, just as one has to have salt in a stew.
--Alan Watts

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
--Dr. Seuss
