Stephen, or “Jenks”(his gamertag) is a graduate of Full Sail University, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Compositing, and scene finishing. His love of art and technology began at home in the town of Mechanicsville, Virginia. Driven with inspiration from his mother, who works in education, his father who is a computer programmer, and his brother who is a comic book artist, he pushed hard to move into the creative field.
His career began with small projects that he worked on through his time in college such as the B Horror film, “Mina”, and the music video, “The Way She Feels” by Between the Trees. Upon graduating he was hired into Blue Sky Studios where he worked as a Stereoscopic Technical Director, and Compositor. During his stead he worked on films such as “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs”, and “Rio”, while working on television spots for Nickelodeon’s “Kids Choice Awards” representing the film, “Rio”.
His love of video games drove him to transition out of films and join the talented team at Raven Software, where he knew he could connect with the people who brought him some of his favorite games, such as Quake 4, and Singularity.
