I'm an animator, teacher, and public speaker whose work has appeared in numerous feature films, shorts, DVD extras and holiday TV specials. I have worked in 2D animation as a special effects artist, and in 3D animation as a character animator, lead, supervisor, and AD. I have taught and mentored since 2007, and have performed as a musician in the studio, on stage, in the theater and on television.
