I served 4 years as an active duty United States Marine from 2000 to 2004 prior to attending the Art Institute of Phoenix. The Corps taught me to be honest, dedicated, and focused.
I attended The Art Institute of Phoenix to further my craft and today I’m proficient in Motion Graphics Animation, 2D Traditional Animation, 2D Character Rigging, 3D Animation, Graphic Design, Artificial Intelligence, and Character Development. I deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines, thrive in collaborative environments, and enjoy drawing, designing, sketching, storyboarding, and creating visual media.
