I was a character animator at Pixar for 13 years, and a character animator at Blue Sky Studios for 4 and a half years before that. I left Pixar to program life into robots, but the research lab closed within a year.

My strengths are physical animation, working quickly, and making things happen technically, but I know how to do the other areas as well. I'm not a snob about work, and am perfectly happy doing whatever work comes my way.
