Since 2007, I have worked as an industry-leading prop and armor fabricator, collaborating with top Vancouver FX studios like Charron Custom Props, Amazing Ape, Unlimited Designs, and Rain City Props. Over nearly twenty years, I have built iconic weapons and screen-ready assets for massive franchises—including Deadpool 1 & 2, The Revenant, Elysium, Supernatural, and the entire DC Arrowverse.

Today, I am proud to call Kelowna home. Based in the beautiful Okanagan, my focus has shifted to balancing family life with the projects that truly spark my creativity. While I continue to take on select private contracts and occasionally head back down to Vancouver when production teams call me in for specialized help, my daily passion lies in the shop. I love crafting intricate sci-fi gear, working with leather, 3D printing, painting miniatures, and building weapons and armor—bringing years of Hollywood experience into creating whatever inspires me next.

I also love giving back to the maker community. When people seek me out for advice, I deeply enjoy teaching and mentoring anyone interested in learning the art of fabrication and prop building. From building, to mold making, casting and paint finishing. For me, mastering the craft goes hand-in-hand with cultivating the right mindset, so I place a strong focus on proper shop etiquette, workspace organization, and industry-standard safety practices.

BABY XENO from @pandapropsncostumes I printed up quickly today for fun. Great little model for the shop, your kids or to annoy your cat with. #pandapropsncostumes #xenomorph #aliens #chibi #babyxeno
