OBJECTIVE
Interested in a career in Television and Feature Animation. Can adapt to many different styles and positions within productions. With main emphasis on the artistry profession, specializing in storyboarding & writing. Currently, looking for opportunities in directing / supervising artists.
QUALIFICATIONS
Last 20+ years of my life has been dedicated to training and working for traditional & CGI animation projects.
I've worked at numerous studios (ranging from small studios like Titmouse to huge production at Disney Animation) and various projects (from Feature, Shorts, Action/Adventure, Comedy, Prime-Time, & Saturday Morning). Within those experience, I have worked in numerous positions ranging from Character Layout to Director, but mostly as a Storyboard Artist (including Writer).
My experiences as a story instructor at CalArts, my wide range of work, and strong technical skills has prepared me well for directing and supervising. I continue to love working in animation and strive to become a better artist.
