I was born and grew up in the south of England the middle of a set of triplet brothers. I moved to the Bay Area in 1999.
I have run my own multidisciplinary business specializing in motion graphics for over a decade.
During that period I have also taught courses in digital media at colleges including West Valley College, California College of Arts, San Francisco Art Institute, Menlo College, and CSU Monterey Bay.
I am also a practicing visual artist. See my work
