From my early childhood growing up in suburban Toronto, I have been fascinated with the look of things, and how that can be achieved.

I began my lifelong love of model building at 6yrs old.

I did not know then, as I finished my first glue encrusted model airplane, where it would take me.

Model building is an awesome hobby for a young person. It teaches patience, planning, following a proper order of steps, and opens an opportunity to express ones creativity.

I experienced my first “tortured artist” moments hunched over some model tank or plane.
Alongside modelling as a young man, I learned the photographic process.

Capturing images, developing B&W film, and enlarging/printing. Another creative endeavor that honed my eye for composition.

In my 20s I moved in a different direction going into the world of pastry. I co-owned and operated a business in Toronto supplying desserts to restaurants. That taught me project management, efficient production, and again, “does it look right”?

After that was travel, which led me to Vancouver.

I fell into the Film Industry here by chance. But on my second day on “Time Cop”, I knew in my gut I was finally home.

I have dedicated myself to excellence in what I do every step along the way.

In Vancouver I have had the priveledge to train with some great Head Painters. Barry Kootchin, Marko Lytviak, and Roger Jacoe among them. I worked with Roger for 18 years. Most of that time was spent on projects designed by Jerry Wanek and John Marcynuk.

I deeply appreciate the time spent growing and achieving alongside these and all the other men and women I have worked with over the years.

Each year I dedicate a good chunk of my free time to “The Young Mens Adventure Weekend”. An event for young men 12-17 full of challenge, adventure, fun, and growth.

I currently live in Vancouver happily married with my wife of 22 years and my two sons.
