I live in Conejo Valley, CA with my wife, daughters, animals and a thriving garden of symbiotic sentient beings.
My mission is to facilitate spaces and experiences that educate and inspire awareness of the interconnection of all things.
For 25 years I continue to professionally create and produce high-quality digital media, physical artifacts and life changing experiences that tell stories of hope, healing and inspiration.
I created Authentic Creative to incubate new products, services and businesses as a creative, technical, and operations partner co-creating win win solutions.
I am frequently referred for full-stack creative engineer, product designer, software developer, business solutions architect and advise founders launching, streamlining and automating their businesses.
I recently began working with Embers Protection Services who provide full-service wildfire protection and suppression systems automation and remote monitoring. This team and their systems saved 3 houses in the Palisades fires in Jan 2025 and I am proud to be investing in the mission to protect our communities from the devastation of wildfires.
I volunteer and advise Murphslife Foundation providing technical and operational support and by building and maintaining Murphslife.com. Murphlsife founder Aaron Murphy works harder than anyone I know to make a significant positive impact for people throughout Latin America, and is building an amazing community center and gardens in Jauyua El Salvador. Check out his work and to donate if you can!
I produce user-interactive experiences for top-line film and streaming with Khaos Digital, creating mobile interfaces for shows Hulu's Paradise, Will Trent season 3, Apple TV's "Me".
I produced the physical prop "Victor" and VFX for Genius Pills "Mary" in 2024. I also got to do some cell animation for the short ""
I invented and patented a way to use augmented reality to play back a soundwave tattoo, went viral, founded Skin Motion (2017) and exited in 2023.
I work across an extensive range of artistic mediums evoking a tool, technique, and technology from every experience. I exhibit a pattern of insatiable curiosity that has led to a lifelong learning journey and interconnected ontological perspective that informs my work.
I cocreated a series of projection mapped paintings in 2014 with Nina Topinko called "Mono Amor".
I was honored to produce the Dirty Heads "Cabin Behind the Sea" behind the albumDVD and web series in 2012.
I was honored album art and creative direction for Sublime with Rome's debut album "Yours Truly" in 2011 and then went on tour with them for two years doing media and projection visuals.
After 10 years in tech, 2 months before the market crashed in 2008 feeling like a crazy person looking around at what was happening, I quit everything to learn how to tattoo. I studied with Jim Hayek in Newbury Park who had taught legends Carson Hill and Mike DeVries among many others. A few years later I produced educational DVDs for Mike DeVries, some of the first to teach realisim portraiture in high definition.
Over 10 years I t attooed hundreds of people including heros of mine growing up, strangers who became family, and collected the stories and made art with so many people that changed my life. I don't really tattoo anymore, but I still love to make art and share stories.
Right out of high school I co-developed a workers compensation background check web application for the insurance industry which was sold to H&R Block in 2005 with health industry veteran and legend Brent Heurter.
As a teenager I cowrote, recorded, and released an album and two EP's with Private Selection and played nearly 200 concerts over 5 years.
A ton of other things happened in between, but you'll have to buy me dinner to hear the rest.
I love to meet new people and learn about their dreams, mission and vision. What is your story? Say hi!
