About Me

As an only child and a temperamental redhead, my mother often found the best way to deal with me was to sit me down with a big piece of paper and some crayons. A steady diet of Calvin and Hobbes, MAD Magazine and Cartoon Network sparked in me a life long passion for cartoons and drawing that consumes my days (and occasionally nights!)

In storyboarding I found the perfect marriage of film obsession, animation, writing, drawing and directing. I'm always working on perfecting my craft, seeking out new information and developing new projects :)

In 2021 I started a studio with some friends, Strange Acre Studios: www.strangeacrestudios.com/
