West Chester, PA, USAI am professional animator dedicated to the art of visual storytelling. I believe that any narrative animation must have a tight story at all costs. I've dedicated this page to displaying my work as a professional storyteller, and animator.
So far my animation work encompasses an array of 3D, Traditional, and experimental animation techniques.
I hope you enjoy my work. Also, I am always open to criticism and willing to improve wherever I can.
