Born and raised in Lenexa Kansas, I moved to Boston in 2004 to attend The Art Institute of Boston. There I began my studies in animation. Over my 4-year education, I explored many different styles and possibilities animation had to offer, studying traditional hand drawn and stop motion animation, as well as 2D and 3D computer animation. In 2006 I began production on Joseph. Stopping occasionally to work on other projects such as Falling and Groundwork, I finally finished production on Joseph in April of 2008.

In the summer of 2007 I interned at MTV Networks for the Nickelodeon website, Nick.com and have been doing occasional freelance work with them since. Having finished school, I am now hoping to find work as a character animator. I am also looking forward to my next project where I hope to make a return to traditional hand drawn animation.
