I realized that I wanted to work in this industry when I saw a video about VFX and how they don't suck. I ended up looking at that and realized there is a whole career surrounding it and that is when I had the determination to enroll into classes. I was then hooked into the process after finding my mentor Zeb Wood and he was able to show me things that really made me excited to work on CG projects.

The day I was looking at the big screen and seeing the surreal imagination not made with any live-action camera, was what opened the world for me. Now all I wish to do is obtain that same power that has been displayed ever since that first spark. Every time I find something that leads to the possibility ends up being fuel for that spark, to only create a fire that is hungry for more. I want to satisfy this flame, as it is the life I wish to keep alive, and perhaps pass down to others.

I started to realize that I wanted to work in the creative field after I started trying to figure out how they did all the effects in movies.
