I majored in jazz performance/music theory at the universoty of North Texas. While playing in the disneyland bands as a performer, I met someone in animation and moved into that feels. I began my animation career as a layout/story artist on Batman the animated series. From there I worked as an designer? storyboard artist for Film Roman as well as an overseas superviser( Korea). I worked at Marvel for a bit before moving in feature animation at Disney, followed by 16 years at Dreamworks as a head of Story. I've returned to Disney for the past 3 years.
