About Me: Raised in the tropics of the 808, I have always loved movies, first just watching them and then wanting to be a part of the creative process. However, my career choices at the time led to me a life in architecture which I practiced for over 15 years all the while still dreaming in celluloid at 24 frames per second.
Armed with lots of art training and a profound interest in all things 3D, I left Hawaii in 1999 and hopped across the pond to SoCal to pursue my cinematic dreams. Then in 2003, after going back to school part-time for about a year, the nice folks at Rhythm and Hues gave me my first break hiring me as a Matchmove TD.

Since then the ride has gotten even sweeter and groovier.

To see where my path has led me since then, check these out: http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=5140023&trk=tab_pro

..Did I also mention that Francis is a hell of a guy with a great understanding and working knowledge of tracking in stereo? He's a great member to any team.
