Hi, I'm Greg! I get to make things look real for a living, and I still love it. Over 25 years that's meant golf courses and stadiums for EA Sports, tracks and key art for NASCAR Heat, and these days, datacenter hardware for Legrand. My favorite part? Building the pipelines and tools behind the pictures, so a small team can do big things without the grind.
Creative Technical Director / Visualization
25 years of production pipelines, from AAA game environments to enterprise product visualization.
Builds with AI
I bring the production judgment: the problem, the edge cases, the test. AI writes the code. I break it until it holds up in production.
Production-proven
Madden, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, NCAA Football, NASCAR Heat. AAA release dates taught me scope, triage and how to finish.
Automates the repeatable
If a task happens twice, it gets scripted. Batch tooling now carries about 400 projects a year for a team of four.
Leads and teaches
Led 4 internal and 10 external artists as Creative Director on NASCAR Heat. Built hard-surface curriculum at Full Sail.
No black boxes
No hidden heuristics, no silent deletes. Every tool I build tells you what it did and why.
