Work Experience

Mighty Pants Media

Freelance animator

My work for Mighty Pants is mostly for Fox's Animation Domination HD. This studio combines the efforts of many animators from across the U.S. Very few work locally. I was brought on to handle “character - cleanup”, “props”, and “rigging” for High School USA. Shortly thereafter, I moved to “scene setup” and “animation”. From there I handled “Cell Cleanup” for Axe Cop. There is one other project that I was heavily involved in thru MGA entertainment that we have a nondisclosure agreement with, so I cannot name the IP.

Studio Fn'

Animation Director

Worked with Studio Fn' producing animation for the Facebook game FarmVille. My role was animation Director and lead animator for the company. The team created Background/character sketches and vector art that was then imported into flash and animated. Later we would be responsible for creating collision boxes and editing them in game. The Team would also be called upon to generate storyboards and concept art for other Zynga projects.
December 2011 - May 2013 Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Primal Screen

Freelance animator

I Started out primarily as an Inker and then moving into traditional animations and Flash. The majority of my work consists of commercial animation. The list of clients range form Cocoa puffs to Trix and rare limited properties like Scooby Doo Go-gert. Cartoon network exports a lot of promos through this company. Animated promotional material for franchises like Power Puff Girls, and Dexters' Lab to later shows like Camp Lazlo and My Gym partners a Monkey have all been animated through Primal. The list of clients also include Disney channel, Nickelodeon, The history channel and PBS Kids.
2002 - August 2013 Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Floyd County Productions

Illustrator, Flash animator

Worked with FCP on the FX show “Archer” during Season 2 and the first two episodes of Season 3. My responsibilities were creating Character illustrations/rigs to then be passed onto the After effects team for compositing and animation. Also during this time I was a flash animator under the offshoot company “Sandwich Town” during the production of the Pilot and first 3 episodes of FX series “Unsupervised”. FCP Art directors worked closely with the animation team during that time.
May 2010 - December 2011 Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Radical Axis

Flash animator, animator

I was brought into Radical to work as a flash animator on Comedy Centrals short lived project FREAK SHOW. Amidst the Character designing, coloring and lip-syncing (we did everything) , I found myself once again animating on Aqua teen for a few episodes.
June 2006 - October 2006 Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Wild Hare Studios

Animator, Illustrator

Wild Hare was the first studio I worked for, starting out as an intern and mostly doing Tweens and cleanup. Within a month I was taken on as an animator and was part of team on the Adult swim line. Most of the productions were for Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Brak show. Aside from the Adult swim properties were the usual bevy of promos for Cartoon Network shows at the time; Courage the cowardly dog, Power Puff, Johnny Bravo and so on.
April 2000 - November 2002 Atlanta, Georgia, United States

Roosterteeth Productions

2D Animator

My work at Roosterteeth began with a training in Harmony 12 and Season 2 of web-series “Xray and Vav”. Production consisted of remodeling Flash assets for Toonboom, rigging, compositing, props, effects, and character animation. Pre production for series “Camp Camp” began after it’s conclusion. Throughout my tenure on the 2D team, we animated the RTAA series. Rtaa’s are “for web”, animated snippets with audio taken from RT’s Podcasts and Let’s plays. Every Rtaa is an expression of the animators own sense of humor within the artstyle of the series. Artists create all new assets, character animation, effects and backgrounds for the episode. “Sex Swing”, a Roosterteeth/Funhaus production, began after season 1 of Camp Camp. The show was in a limited animation style, meant to evoke “Adult swim” themed series. Not much to say about this one. Like my work on actual “Adult swim” content, the show speaks for itself. Season 2 of “Camp Camp” picked up shortly after. I worked through 4 seasons of this series from its beginning, doing character modeling, rigging, Fx, props, character animation, and compositing in Harmony 12 -15. “Nomad of Nowhere” marked a change in production for the 2D team, with more complex rigging, lighting and animation style. So much so, that the show had to be put on hold, and season 3 of Camp camp was run, to be picked up later.
