After studying illustration and animation at California College of the Arts and The Art Institute of Houston, I've spent several years in video games, commercial work, tv and film. I've been involved with the award winning PlayStation 2 game, The Red Star as well as Area 51: Black Site and The Ghostbusters Video Game. Other works include The Ant Bully, Everyone's Hero and Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. I have also enjoyed working on the CG animated commercials for Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Rudy's Country Store and Bar-B-Que.

I love bringing characters to life and evoking emotions in the viewer. Performance through animation is very difficult and is a wonderful challenge I look forward to everyday.

I happily live in Austin with my family.
