I'm a hands-on creative director and visual storyteller, bringing a storyteller's instinct to rockwork design and themed environments. For nearly 20 years I've worked at the intersection of artificial rockwork, themed environments, and visual storytelling, with a foundation in character animation that informs everything I design. At PGAV Destinations, I've led rockwork design and art direction for SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, Infinity Falls at SeaWorld Orlando, the St. Louis Aquarium, and attractions across North America and internationally.

My career spans character animation, film and commercial production, and themed entertainment. Working on clay models and maquettes, digital sculpting, on-site art direction and media production is all in a days work for me, as is staying close to the work and the people making awesome things. That hands-on approach is how I've contributed to multiple THEA Award-winning projects.

In 2020, I co-founded Terror Tacos, an award-winning horror-themed vegan restaurant featured in The New York Times and on A&E's "1000 Ways to Dine." We somehow found a way to blend plant-based food with death-metal and horror. It's an amazing little taco shop in St. Louis, and provides a very unique experience for those not afraid of vegan food.
