About

 

Thanks for checking my work out!

 

I've been a freelance character animator for nearly 15 years and I enjoy it now more than ever! Collaborating with others to tell stories never gets old, and I'm very fortunate to work with some of the nicest, most talented people out there.

Having spent most of my career in  commercials and other fast-paced industry niches, I pride myself on turning around quality work with speed & overcoming technical & creative hurdles to beat deadlines. I'm passionate about striving for the highest-quality animation possible in every project I'm involved in.

 

Maya is my native software and I'm proficient in C4D now Blender. I have some basic experience with Unreal Engine as well. I'm well-versed in previs / layout (check out some films I've worked on: IMDB), and I often pitch in with rigging on smaller projects. 

Outside of 3D animation, I love weightlifting, drawing, riding Onewheel & collecting death metal records!
