I started out in the Visual Effects Industry in 1993, before that Defense Industry programming on several Secret and Top Secret projects for the government. In losing all respect for the programming industry after working for Uncle Sam I decided to turn my attention to the work that fascinated me the most: Computer Graphics and Animation. Everything can be blammed on Joe and Lida Higham. Joe was a programmer for IBM at the time starting research and devlopment for IBM's first endeavor into the visual effects realm with well know director James Cameron, minature and model genius Stan Winston, and ex-VP of ILM Scott Ross.
