I have always loved technology and science. As a kid my first major purchase was a computer with a 6502 processor and 4k of RAM (upgradeable to 8k). Although that computer was only capable of displaying graphics composed of ASCII characters, I dreamed of combining video imagery and computer graphics. Later I had access to an Amiga computer which I used to merge graphics with video.
I have worked in the live events industry for many years as a video engineer and projectionist. I have a keen sense of what it takes to make imagery look great on screen. I found that I especially love to play video along with music as a VJ. Over the years I have had the opportunity to do live visuals for a number of musicians, events, and parties. I am constantly learning to use new software and equipment to create video art. I am a generalist by nature and am able to merge many disciplines. My background in electronics lends itself to the integration of sensors and other input devices to create interactive installations.
While at California College of the Arts I learned how to uniquely express my views of social issues through art that engages the viewer. My goal and vision is to provide a way for people to grow and learn by touching their hearts.
