I love animation and storytelling. I have always loved action figures and stop-motion animation is really just the grown-up form of playing with action figures. My goal is to one day create beautiful animation that can be immersive enough to offer reprieve to viewers. I have often found my own escape in media and hope to contribute to the available media out there.
Outside of animating, I just started working as a full-time special ed & history teacher. I've done a lot of volunteer work in my local area with a group focusing on equestrian therapy for kids with physical disabilities as well as with my local fire company for some time. When I was 17, I enlisted in the US Marines and served as an intelligence analyst and as a marksmanship coach (MAG 49 HQ and VMGR 452).
