OBJECTIVE:  To create mind-blowing animation, and to collaborate with a group of like-minded creative professionals to advance my career as an artist.

 

ABOUT ME:

I am an animator by trade and by choice Ð it is my passion, and I would animate even if there was no one to show it to. IÕve spent four years in the game industry, creating games for the PC, PSP, DS, and Xbox consoles.  I love games and animation, but above all I love the creative process, and I cherish the opportunity to work with those who inspire and push me to the limits of my capabilities.
