I am a highly experienced and motivated professional animator with over a decade of diverse experience under my belt.

I have worked for many top networks and studios including Warner Brothers, Disney XD, The Duplass Brothers, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, Bento Box and many more. I have consistently been given more opportunities work as a leader on such projects as “The Thinker” and the emmy nominated “Chuck Vanderchuck.” This is because I’m motivated, easy going, highly creative, and efficient.

In my free time, I still animate! Recently I completed the animated short “Herman Blue: The Pumpkin Comic,” in which I carved over 250 jack-o-lanterns and filmed them with Dragonframe to create the illusion of a talking pumpkin. Additionally I made the award winning short animation “Crazy Eyes Dolphin vs The Mad Cows” which appeared in over a dozen festivals both cross country and internationally. And I’ve got a couple more boiling right now.

I started my artistic pursuits at the Joe Kubert School of Art, where I even took some classes from Joe Kubert himself. In 2005, I received a BFA in Animation from The Rhode Island School of Design. I am well versed in Harmony, Toon Boom, Dragonframe, Photoshop, After Effects and even hand drawn animation. I have been blessed with great creativity, individuality, organizational skills, impeccable speed, tenacity and an inability to accept poor quality work. I have an unerring love of animation and will continue to excitedly bring that love to my work for years to come.
