Just Who Am I?

In Short, this is me:

-Hailing from San Francisco, California, United States

-I am an avid cyclist, a heavy metal drummer, and a video editor among other things.

-Currently Attending Jewish Community High School of the Bay (Junior)

-I have skills in Final Cut Express (and LiveType) and many other small video editing applications, PowerPoint and Keynote, Logic Express (and GarageBand).

-I work superficially with computer animation. In this field, my specialty is Google SketchUp, however, I have minimal experience with AnimeStudio as well as Stykz.

-I am a Bicycle Mechanic and I work at the San Francisco Bike Kitchen.

-I draw and create 2D and 3D graphics.

-I specialized in what I call the "No-budget film" in which I demonstrate that a high degree of special effects can be achieved with minimal funds.

-Yes, I can probably fix your computer.

-I am a socialist. If you can handle that word without associating that word with terrorism or evil regimes, I like you a bit more than I would have for just taking the time for visiting my humble website.
