I started as an amusement park caricature artist, left my hometown to spend four years in the military, then pursued my interests in visual storytelling through film school at Cleveland State. I relocated to New York and built up my skill set by working in various production roles that required a little bit of everything: writing, storyboarding, editing, motion graphics, animation, etc.
I’ve been able to put it all together to create short-form animated content from the ground up. Sometimes for myself, sometimes for clients.
