As a child I can remember waking up before the sun came up every Saturday morning to watch those awesome Saturday morning cartoons or rushing home after school so I wouldn't miss any of the after school cartoons. They were more than just cartoons for me, they were doorways into fantastic worlds and amazing adventure. As I became older I began to realize and understand just how important these cartoons were to me as I noticed I lived my life by many of morals and life lessons that were taught with the fabulous art of animation and incredible story telling.
After High School I joined the military, got married and had two kids. Some of the most memorable times with my kids were when we would watch cartoons or animated movies together. it would really bring us all closer together. It didn't take me long to realize that I wanted to become an animator and be part of amazing teams of people that would create cartoons and films that would bring families together and help create unforgettable memories through animation.
Upon retiring from the military I decided it was time to make this dream a reality and began my education in animation through the Art Institute of Pittsburgh (online) and then later transferred to the Savannah College of Art and Design and will be graduating in the spring of 2018.
I am very passionate in everything I set forth to do and I strive to make that show in my work. I look forward to one day working along side with other animators who share the same passion to tell amazing stories to the world through the art of animation.
