About Me
I’m a former General Contractor turned Visual Artist—quite a jump, right? It was absolutely worth it.Growing up in Tucson, AZ, my frequent trips to Disneyland ignited a passion for immersive storytelling and world-building. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Arizona, I initially pursued a career in construction, gaining invaluable experience in project planning, collaboration, and execution. But those magical visits to Disneyland always lingered in my mind, ultimately fueling my transition into concept art and themed entertainment design.Today, I help bring the boldest creative visions to life. For over a decade, I’ve collaborated with Walt Disney Imagineering, Universal, Hasbro, 20th Century Fox, and more, shaping immersive experiences that captivate audiences worldwide. As an illustrator, concept artist, designer, art director, and creative director, I specialize in translating complex ideas into compelling, visually engaging worlds for themed entertainment and gaming.Some of my favorite projects include Frozen, Pirates of the Caribbean, Epcot, Marvel, and designing for Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and Dungeons & Dragons tabletop games.Beyond artistry, my background in construction has honed my leadership, strategic planning, and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills—essential for guiding creative teams in delivering world-class, story-driven experiences on time and at the highest quality.Now, I can truthfully say that I am living Walt Disney's motto: "Dream, Believe, Dare, Do."
