Hi, I’m Matthew! I’ve called Livermore, CA home since 2009, and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. When I’m not juggling pixels and explosions as an FX Artist, I’m happily juggling my home life with my wonderful girl-friend, three busy kids, two lazy cats, and one very happy dog.
I’ve spent over 20 years bringing stories to life through visual effects—working on everything from Star Wars: Ahsoka and The Fantastic Four: First Steps to commercials and indie projects. Whether it’s crafting a fiery explosion, conjuring up alien worlds, or teaching others the magic behind the scenes, I love blending creativity with technical problem-solving.
Outside of work, you’ll most likely find me at, or driving to, one of my kids’ many after-school sports or other events. I absolutely love what I do for a living; the only thing that tops it is watching my kids shine in their own arenas.
