About
Home:
Born in Springfield Missouri, I've lived here most of my life. My wife Lisha and I have 2 children, Abe and Isaac. I spend whatever time is available playing with them or making stuff. I have to be creating things one way or another. I'll go crazy if I don't.
I'm currently a Network admin and also a freelance writer for Hack A Day
Work:
I've been doing multimedia design in one capacity or another since about 1997.
Jobs that I have enjoyed, with the most recent at the bottom:
Instructor at Ozark Technical Community College:
Taught Introduction to 3d animation on 3ds max 5 (maybe it was 4).
Taught Introduction to multimedia design using Macromedia Director.
Instructor / Project manager at Archimedes Producoes Estereographicas:
I trained an 18 member team in 3d production using 3ds max and stereographic projectors.
Then, I led the team in their first few projects including guided tours of resorts before they were built, and a choreographed dance presentation where dancers interacted with characters on a giant projection screen.
Fanatexe Computer Arcade:
Probably the coolest Place in the universe. We opened 4 years ago and we've been fragging ever since. I am the owner, but I rarely work here anymore. I have a competent management staff to handle day to day business. (Fanatexe has been sold, and is now closed)
The Brick Room:
Web design with a focus on budget sites for small businesses. We predomenantly use open source software with extensive customization to achieve cheap, easy to administer sites. We have over 70 clients and we get more every day.
My duties are sales, customer service, graphic design and most importantly I manage every project from beginning to end.(the brickroom is now closed)
Custom Powder Systems:
I am the IT administrator as well as Creative designer.
My duties are all graphic design, web construction, multimedia presentations, client pre visualization, and print design.
