As an animator I take pride in offering high production quality animation, quickly and efficiently. I am dedicated to serving the needs of the production each and every day, not just as an animator, but at whatever capacity I can and that best serves the needs of the production. I have 11 years in the feature film and television industry and 10 years in the gaming industry. This experience allows me to better anticipate production problems and solve them. In effect, keeping production cost down,  using resources efficiently, and making the best use of the studios time.
