the I/ITSEC for advancing the field of interactive computer graphics for flight simulation. I received an award from the Link

Foundation for my work furthering the field of virtual interface design. I created five book covers for books by Harcourt Brace

Publishing that feature the authors Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and Stephen King. Several minutes of my computer graphics

animations appear in the movie Beyond the Mind s Eye produced by MIRAMAR. I have won two engineering design awards from the

City of Los Angeles for the design of an energy saving product. In my free time I enjoy creating computer graphic images and

animations as well as composing and recording music. You can view my company s website at: www.globaltechnica.com
