I was born in England and immigrated to Australia as a young child in 1970.
Having obtained my Trade Certificate in carpentry, I then worked as a Project Manager for a Perth based building company for the next ten years.
During this time, I spent most of my wages indulging my weekend hobbies of hang-gliding and skydiving. Deciding to turn my love of flying into something useful, I commenced part-time study with the Royal Aero Club at Jandakot, attaining my pilot's license in June 1989.
After resigning from my building job in 1993, I travelled extensively around Europe before returning to Perth and setting up my own manufacturing company. The company grew rapidly, and in 2003 the majority of the manufacturing process was outsourced to a Melbourne factory allowing me the opportunity to pursue new ventures.
My lifelong fascination for electronics, which had many years previously led to an (according to some) unnatural obsession with computers, now presented me with a new career path. Inspired by the graphics and imagery of computer games and the technical wizardry of movie special effects, I set about teaching myself 3D animation.
My first project in 2007, assisted the Perth Observatory’s successful funding application by creating a fly-through animation of the proposed Lowell telescope enclosure.
In mid 2008, I became involved in a group movie project ¨The Underpass Motel¨ headed by eminent West Australian artist Stuart Elliott. Taking on the roles of head 3D animator, I was also responsible for DVD Mastering as well as design and construction of the website.
I currently spend most days (and nights) working on a range of projects, including CG animation, web design and construction, graphic design and programming. I have also begun part-time private tutoring in the art of 3D computer animation.
