I am a 1998 graduate of Sheridan College's Classical Animation program and I offer 16 years of experience working in the animation industry. My dedication and skills have allowed me to practice my career with a number of great companies, in particular, Disney and Universal. Working for Disney also provided me with the opportunity to work and live in Australia.

I have developed a better than average skill with Storyboarding and I have directed teams of storyboard artists, as a Storyboard Supervisor, Assistant Director, and Director. I have worked with and mastered Photoshop, Storyboard Pro and Sketchbook Pro, and I have been involved with the editing of animatics using Storyboard Pro and Final Cut. I also have the ability to adapt to any proprietary software that you may utilize as a result of my strong computer skills with PC and Mac.

I am a creative and highly skilled Storyboard Artist and would welcome the opportunity to discuss and demonstrate my experience and ability at your convenience.
