I was born and raised in New Jersey and in April 1989 I moved to Miami.

LaserNet is a founding/charter member of ILDA, and we remain a member every year. I served on ILDA’s board of directors from 2008 to…

What was your entrance point into the laser industry, where and when did you start? While I was studying at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, I attended a career fair and met employees that worked at Image Engineering. They were a local laser and special fx company located in the city. I took on a freelance project with them creating some 3D-rendered concepts, but ended up not getting a job there. After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Art in Animation, I got a medical-related animation job at a small startup. It was not what I wanted…
