I'm a Senior concept artist at SuperBot Entertainment working on a soon to be announced PS3 game. I've also recently completed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 at Sledgehammer games, as well as The Saboteur from Pandemic Studios.
My second job is volunteering for ARM http://www.hibm.org/arm/, a nonprofit organization that funds research towards a cure of the disease HIBM. My wife is afflicted with HIBM and we both work very hard to support this organization. please check out her site at http://greengreengrass.typepad.com/my_weblog/
