So you came this far, and aparently you want to know more!

I got my BFA in animation from The Savannah College of Art and Design, but my hometown is Gainesville Florida, where I very much bleed orange and blue.

After college I got my first job at LucasArts where I spent over two years animating on the title Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Within the first few months of moving to San Francisco I met the love of my life, Vicki! Two years later I popped the question and much to my delight she said yes. We're still planning the wedding, so stay tuned.

I am currently living and working in Irvine California at Red5 Studios.
