29 years ago today I began my Universal story…forever grateful! @universalstudiosfl.bsky.social

Would you look at that! Our nighttime spectacular CineSational was nominated for an IAAPA Brass Ring Award!

Honored to be asked by @blooloop.bsky.social to speak about our nighttime spectacular #CineSational with my friend and creative collaborator Jason McManus. Read about and register via the link below! blooloop.com/theme-park/n...

The projects that I had the opportunity to lead our teams on in 2024 were all extremely fulfilling. So proud of the talented individuals who came to together to bring these to life! I had an absolute blast collaborating and creating! Happy New Year, all!

A few photos from our week in NYC over Christmas.

If you looking for some kind of negative judgement, feel free to look upon my dog Poppy. You will leave her gaze questioning everything you’ve ever done.

We adapted AWIL twice in #HHN! It was a blast to do!

I’ve changed offices a couple times and thought I had lost this fantastic book from my friend Paul Davis! I had the honor of contributing to it and I thought it was gone forever.. well it was in a box in my garage the whole time! Whew!

Rewatching S1 of #Arcane… just as good the second time through! Looking forward to S2! And the music!! Wonderful! music.apple.com/us/album/goo...

As my son gets older I cherish these moments even more as they tend to a get a little fewer and farther between. He’s definitely becoming his own man…but still has time for his old man. ;) Seeing #HereticMovie!

Actually did some personal creative writing today.. and not work creative. It was refreshing.. I don’t get to do it enough.. rather I don’t allow myself the time. That’s my own fault.

Currently!

Has anyone read either of these books? Any good?

It’s been 11 months since my last post. Hello!

Getting the day started right!

This week’s Doctor Who was absolutely superb!! Tennant, Tate and Gatwa, all wonderful! So happy with it all and excited for the future!

First post to Blue Sky will be this final shot of Seven Samurai I just rewatched.
