lCAREER GOAL
Due to my high interest and talent in CGI I am aiming for a job as either a modelling artist or as a texture artist as these are my strongest areas.
lSUMMARY
Currently, my main job is working as a CAD technician working with AutoCAD 2010. Through college, whilst on my Modern Apprenticeship, I was introduced to AutoCAD and gradually made the transition to 3DS Max and find it a very exciting program to use. I have a very strong interest in the program in all areas and I feel modelling and texturing are my stronger areas and feel more comfortable doing them.
I have been an active team member and texture artist working on a large scale independent PC game called ‘1944 D-Day - Operation Overlord’ by ‘Frantic Games’. I was responsible for a large number of the textures for the in-game weapons, props, environment models and vehicles.

lINTEREST AND ACTIVITIES
I am very keen on film and have accumulated a large collection of DVDs, my favourites being both Star Wars and Lord of the Rings Trilogies. Although, due to my very strong interest in CGI, I’ve probably become more critical towards how their effects and models have been made rather than sitting back and enjoying the films.
I enjoy music, theatre, swimming, squash, badminton, good food, and free-hand drawing. I also have fond love for reading. I enjoy driving very much and hold a full UK driving licence.
