Character animation has always appealed to me because it is a perfect synthesis of all the passions that stimulate and inspire me: acting, writing, visual art, music, and film.

I consider myself an eclectic individual, and believe that obtaining as much life experience as possible is essential towards expanding creativity and building reference for an aspiring animator such as myself. Why else would anyone in their right mind choose to work as a public high school substitute teacher in Oakland? When not shackling myself to my computer, I enjoy music, cooking, reading, being outdoors, painting, traveling, and spending time with friends and loved ones. I also write articles and create political cartoons for The UnderCurrent. (www.fresnoundercurrent.com).
