This is where it all started for me. I used to stand outside at night as a kid, watching for the Millenium Falcon flying among the stars (secretly hoping Han and Chewie would pick me up to help fight the Empire). Once I learned that people made the art and models and effects to create these movies I was hooked - I wanted to create stuff too. George Lucas was the one who opened the door to a greater world of creativity for me.

By far the most fulfilling and wild adventure that I have been on has so far been being a husband and dad. It's cliche, but true - my wife and kids make me a better person, and make me strive to be more complete and creative in all I do. We're a work in progress, and I can't wait to see where we go next.
