I am an Author, a Special Effects Artist, and a Filmmaker.
I started Escape Design Studios, my special effects company, in 1999, just after leaving the military. http://www.escape-design.com
I started Ritual Pictures as a separate project. Who knew it would become the partner company in a new corporation. While Escape Design Studios focus on special effects, Ritual Pictures produces films.

I like to think Im an educated man. Ive lived all over the world, and hold a couple of degrees. I have an Assoc. in Logistics (Community College of the Air Force), a BS in Psychology (Univ. of Maryland), a BS in English/Law (Weber State Univ.) and a MA in Literature (Weber State Univ.) 

 
I love the suspense genre although most of my work is done in horror.
Ive worked on a number of Indie Films, and found that I prefer them over big budget films because egos seem to hinder most of those larger projects. You can see some of my work at http://www.escape-design.com & http://www.ritualpictures.com
