Short Bio:
I grew up in my home city of
Seattle
Washington
in a fairly nice neighborhood called
Mt.
Baker
aptly named after the nearby Mountain. When I was young I found that I loved to sketch, and recorded little radio shows on my tape recorder with my friend Eric C. As got a little older I discover the art of flip books and had my parents buy tons of pads from Costco so that I could make my crude drawings come to life. Eventually my parents got a hi-8 video camera and naturally I took it over and they never got hold of it again. I used it to make claymations and short movies with the kids around my neighborhood and found that it was something I really enjoyed doing. At that point I thought that maybe I wanted to be a director. As I got older and started high school I did not have as much time to make home-movies but never lost my love of creating them. However, as timed marched on I found that my attention was slowly becoming more focused on computers and effects in movies. After I watched “
Jurassic
Park
,” I knew that the world of effects was something I wanted to be a part of. However I did not fully realize that I wanted to be an animator until "Toy story" and the whole 3D movie movement really took off. I think that the fact that in mixed my love of animation with the world of computers is what ultimately sparked the interest. Since I had become so intrigued with the idea of bringing the inanimate to life, I wanted an opportunity learn how. I have since spent the past 5 years at the Academy of Art College learning the fine arts as well as how to animate and though I graduate this May 2005, I still have a lot to learn.

“Mitosis” 6 megs
This was an early piece I did using Macromedia’s Director. It has a very basic story but I think it works well because of just that.
