Welcome to my site!
Animation Director & Storyteller
I’m a versatile CG artist and animation supervisor with expertise in modeling, animation, lighting, rendering, and effects. I’ve built pipelines, supervised dozens of sequences, and delivered projects across film, television, and game cinematics—taking them from storyboard to final product.
Animation being my primary focus has allowed me to intimately learn the story telling process working directly with directors, taking sequences from the page to final animation. I’ve learned what it takes to tell a compelling story through animation. I’ve learned the importance of pacing, sequence beats, shot beats and acting beats. I’ve directed mocap shoots, including actors and athletes on dozens of sequences over my 25+ years as an animator as well as creating performances myself.
I write myself and have written several screenplays and short stories. I am currently working on my series Darkest Dawn for which you can find a teaser on the front page of my website.
