I am a member of a rare and dying breed: the nice guy. I'm not being presumptuous or anything just confident. I'm open and honest to a fault and I put other people's needs before my own.

I graduated from Syracuse University with a BFA in Computer Graphics design. I trained in many various areas of interactive design. I specialize in 3-D modeling and animation. There is something amazing to be said for transforming ordinary everyday objects into lively movable characters. I find myself constantly trying to push the boundary between virtual and real reality, so half the time I suppose I live in my daydreams. The other half I'm grounded and serious. (mostly)

I have many interests ranging from movies, music, reading and Anime, to athletics and fitness. I am somewhat of an amateur comedian as well. My sense of humor is a bit unconventional with mild precipitous sarcasm laced in cynicism. My impressions are usually spot on and make everybody fall over laughing. I accredit that to my keen observational skills, quick wit, charming personalit...hah I can't even get through typing that without laughing. I'm an auditory learner. Many learn the world through tactile or visual retentive tendencies, but I see without seeing.

I am a freelance graphic designer. I work for clientele on anything from animated shorts or web and logo design to print work. I even do a little 3-D animation when the situation calls for it. I'm training myself and building my portfolio to be good enough for places like Dreamworks and Pixar.

I'd ultimately like to direct an animation at the twilight of my career and create my own project with unlimited creative control.

In my spare time (assuming I have any) I work on my web comic, draw, paint in mostly oil and watercolor, workout with free weights and swim for exercise. Oh and if anyone reading this is a gifted writer and would like to try their hand at comic writing, most of my stuff comes out verbose and convoluted as is clearly evident in this profile description!

I speak 3 languages fairly well, Spanish, French, and Japanese. I am learning to speak Hebrew as well. If you nudge me a little I know a little Klingon as well, (not really although it does sound vaguely familiar to Hebrew/Yiddish or German hmmmm might be worth checking into.)

I swim competitively, have been doing it since I was 6 years old. I have an affinity for water and hydro-related activities. I also kayak, canoe, surf, water-ski, basically I'll try anything on the water at least once and usually enjoy it;).

I play chess, I draw portraits for practice and have gotten quite skilled with a graphite stick.

I excel at Character design. I can model almost lifelike characters based on myself and my friends. I like to incorporate things from my personal life into my designs as traditions like the humanists and renaissance artists follow.

My sense of humor. I have been told I look about 10 years younger than my actual age.

I am also a behaviorist. I sometimes study the various quirks that people have and use them to understand how they think. I think body language and even day to day activities can say a lot more about a person than what they tell you out right in a casual conversation.

finding my soul mate, my next story line or animation, work, friends, health and fitness, comedy bits, movies, art, animation, and uniting all the forms of martial arts into one massive unified form: Pow-Jitsu Way of the fist, feet, and awesome!

Working. Hanging out with my friends, going to movies, playing video games, bowling, laser tag, etc. Also I spend some time at the masters swim club preparing for meets. In New York a group of friends and I used to go to a bubble tea room and sit the whole night conversing with the locals and drawing with a joke-critique after someone finished one. And once in a while I'll go out on a date or two.

I have a GREAT origin story. Ask me if you're interested.

I'm a mystery. Get to know me yourself.

you're bored, you need a good laugh and you don't take life too seriously.

You like a good story.

If you share my interests. And you think Bruce Campbell is the greatest B-movie actor alive, or you know what homo-superior means.
