Seven years ago, I made my very first video for the anime DRAGONBALL Z (a trailer for my fan fiction novel "And the Greatest of These").  From those humble beginnings (and trust me, my first video was a VERY crude attempt), I progressed to better software, a faster computer, and a whole variety of subject material.  And you know what?  I'm actually damned good at it!  Who'd have thought?

Now, seven years later, I've actually won competitions with my videos, had articles written about me in online publications, and even gotten fan mail!  I wonder if I should have gone in for Communications and Art Production when I was still in college... then again, if I had, while I'd probably have a better technical background for making videos, I wonder if I might have gotten sick of it by now...

At any rate, here on one page are all of the videos I've created to date, ranging from my very earliest works to my latest efforts!
