Demo Reel
I am a senior animator with experience ranging from major releases in feature animation to AAA gaming titles. I have been through the full development cycle numerous times, and love collaborating with other artists to push boundaries and exceed expectations.

I also have a passion for teaching and mentoring up and coming animators, and have been fortunate to be able to do this professionally for the past 15 years.
