I am a dad, artist, filmmaker, writer, and tinkerer. If pressed, I would say these interests are all fueled by an intense curiousity about people and the world they perceive, imagine, and attempt to create.

I love stories and storytelling.

I grew up on a diet of science fiction and magical realism. I read authors like William Gibson, Walter Williams, George Alec Effinger, Neal Stephenson, Italo Calvino, and Umberto Eco. Those last two are particular favorites: they’re both Italian, and they think way outside the box.

My work combines a lot of seemingly disperate skills/crafts in order to create experiences that help to make complex stories and ideas a little more approachable. A lot of this work is done under the umbrella of my creative company, Goodfocus.

I co-founded Goodfocus in 2008 specifically to help organizations tell their unique stories in engaging, often unexpected ways.

I like to tinker. Sometimes that tinkering shows up in my professional work, sometimes in my art, and sometimes it just washes away like tears in rain. Much of my tinkering involves 1980s computer technology (ie: Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, etc) and unique spatial interactivity between humans and technology. My photonic healing machine is an example.

I also work for the University of New England‘s College of Arts and Sciences as their Production Studio and Digital Arts Equipment Coordinator. It combines two of my favorite things: working with students doing creative stuff; and tinkering with gadgets.
