I was born with a passion for video and computers.Â From a young age, I wasted miles of tape with the family's Hi-8 video camera, shooting everything that moved.Â My love of computers first blossomed with Deluxe Paint on an Apple II.I was also keen to tinker with anything donated to my electronic pile.Â Many machines, including Betamax decks and IBM 286s, met early fates, as I learned "how things work."Â I was a huge fan of my Radioshack 50-in-1 project, rigging up burglar alarms, radio stations and ultimately destroying it with 110 volts of AC power.In junior high, I started getting hands on experience with more high-end gear when I attended Cavazos Junior High, and was involved with internal video production and electronic art classes.Â Through high school, I was part of a church youth group that produced videos on a weekly basis.I chose to attend Texas Tech University and received a bachelor's degree in Telecommunications with a minor in Management in 2003.Â While in college I learned about new online media and web design.In the fall of 2003, I joined the ranks of a local advertising agency where I shot, produced and edited TV commercials for numerous clients, as well as designing database-driven websites.In March 2006, I came on board at Digital Base Productions in the Video Department, where I continue to practice my art via shooting, editing, and motion graphics.Â I'm married to my beautiful wife Kim, and play drums weekly in praise and worship band. read more ...
