welcome

Welcome to my new and improved portfolio site!

I began Animation Mentor in June of 2009 after toying with the idea for some time. Following several months immersed in the medium of computer animation at Blue Sky Studios in Greenwich, CT and seeing all of the animators at work on Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, I realized that there was no option for me but to enroll in the online courses that will hopefully get me back to the studio as soon as possible!

i began Class 1 (Basic Foundations) in the Summer 2009 term and studied under Sean Ermey, a wonderfully talented freelance animator whom I had met while working on Ice Age! I completed Class 2 (Psychology of Body Mechanics) with Dimos Vrysellas during the Fall 2009 quarter, and have just completed Class 3 (Advanced Body Mechanics) with Wayne Gilbert. My next class, Introduction to Acting, will be mentored by Ray Chase of ReelFX Studios.

Stay tuned to see my latest work!
