To see a list of projects I have worked on take a look at my page!
Whiskytree
In 2022 I began working at Whiskytree, Inc in San Rafael, California as a Production Manager! I have been involved with projects such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Haunted Mansion, The Marvels, and others.
Late in 2023 I assisted with opening a new location called The Whiskytree Southern Corporation in Alpharetta, GA as the Studio Manager.

Industrial Light & Magic
I worked in production at ILM from 2015-2022 on movies such as Black Widow, Rogue One, Bumblebee: The Movie, Us, Warcraft, Ant-Man, Deepwater Horizon, and Captain Marvel as well as the Rise of the Resistance, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Star Tours, and Mission: Space Disney rides. In my production management role I have coordinated multiple departments simultaneously, traveled on set with layout artists and VFX supervisors as production support and a data wrangler, and managed work distribution to third-party vendors. I have worked with many fantastically talented individuals and teams, and I greatly enjoyed the experience I have gained through these projects.
PDI/DreamWorks Animation SKG
From fall 2011 through January 2015 I worked as a render wrangler at PDI/DreamWorks Animation in Redwood City, California. Projects I was a part of include Home, Penguins of Madagascar, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Croods, Rise of the Guardians, and more.
What Remains
During my senior year of college, I produced a short-film as a member of a very talented team of six animators. We each served various roles on this project, but my roles revolved around producing, technical direction, and render management.
HighMarks
HighMarks is an iPad app that I developed based off of an idea from and partnership with a professor of English from Huntington University, Dr. Del Doughty.
Mafia Card Dealer
This app originated as a project prepared for a January-Term class in college, after which it was available at the App Store for a time. I have since reprogrammed it as a web app available here.
“Buck Denver Asks…”
I briefly worked on a children’s DVD in Chicago, compositing and animating digital images behind puppet actors. This was my first employment after graduation, and a great preparation for future positions in the industry. It also prepared me for life in the “big city” to some extent.
Demo Reel
My demo reel is a bit outdated, as it mainly contains examples of technical proficiency with various software packages. However, I enjoyed every project for the unique challenges presented in each, and the preparation they provided for subsequent endeavors.
