It All Begins Here.

Born and raised in Southern California, my early days weren't filled with art. I was more interested in playing in the sun and watching science fiction movies and cartoons. I never thought all the cool stuff I was watching was actually being made by somebody out there. I loved drawing, but merely as a hobby. As I got into high school, my artistic sensibilities were growing. I decided I wanted to be an illustrator. When I got to college, I discovered the world of Fine Art painting. I was hooked right away. I spent the first year and a half focused on painting. Then the school brought in a sculpting teacher and I signed up. After the first class, I knew I wanted to do nothing else. Sculpture has been my focus for the last 25+ years. I’ve been working in the toys and collectibles world for over 10 years.

Now I am a character designer, commercial and monumental sculptor. I create original character busts and full figures for my own line of resin kits, as well as taking on larger than life size bronze monumental projects. I was part of the in-house sculpting team at Sideshow Collectibles for 10 years. Previous clients have included: Guillermo Del Toro, Sideshow Collectibles, Syndicate Collectibles, ADI, Monster FX, The Chiodo Brothers, ZICA Toys, Sota Toys, Pop Culture Shock Toys, Global Effects, The Ellen Show, Katie Perry, Hanson Brick Company, Tom Woodruff Jr., Sandy Collora, and several public monuments, including a 9 foot tall, bronze monument of Elias “Lucky” Baldwin, for the city of Arcadia, Ca, and a larger than life sized, seated bronze monument of Anita Baldwin, which sits in front of the Le Meredien Hotel in Arcadia, Ca.. Also recently installed is the tribute bust to founding member and drummer of Quiet Riot, Frankie Banali. The bust is installed at the world famous Rainbow Bar and Grill in Hollywood, Ca.. I have been sculpting professionally for over 15 years and I am well trained in many mediums, including: digital (Zbrush), water and oil based clays, polymer clays, wax, foam, resin, and bronze. I have a strong working knowledge of anatomy and I enjoy creating realistic figures and portraits, as well as fantasy creatures and monsters.
