About Me
Living in the Los Angeles area for over 20 years, I have experienced the gamut of animation. I first started as a production assistant shooting Charmin Bear pencil tests for Joanna Quinn, to then coordinating for the original Proud Family show, to finally animating and storyboarding on such shows as The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, Lower Decks, and Big Mouth. I worked on two Emmy winning episodes, The Simpsons "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind" and Rick and Morty "The Vat of Acid Episode", and several other nominees. I am currently looking for directing opportunities while working on developing my own properties.
