I like to find playful ways to blend form and function, and when it comes to execution, I'm meticulous. I have a wide array of technical production skills, and with the right specs, I can build you just about anything. I’m a team player, a creative problem solver, and my work ethic is second to none. I'm devoted to my work, and I'm at my happiest when I'm in the groove, watching something amazing come together on my screen. After a decade of experience in Toronto, I decided to get back to my roots and move back home to Manitoba. I love culture, and pop culture, and seeing and doing brand new things. I also love being out in nature. I'm currently working toward my dream of buying a house on some acreage and building a small hobby farm and animal rescue.
