TV will always be my first love.
The infatuation took off with shows like The Simpsons, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 30 Rock, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm – and it’s organically led to an obsession.
Why does Mr. Burns releasing flying monkeys out of a window, only for them to fall to their deaths, make me laugh? Why do I feel seen watching Liz Lemon flip over a table after she discovers a coworker ate her mac-n-cheese? Should I be concerned that I relate to Dennis Reynolds losing his mind while he’s stuck in traffic on his morning commute? These questions drive me.
Thousands of hours of reverse-engineering my favorite characters and stories, reading hundreds of scripts to improve my own writing, studying work like Wallace & Gromit or The Incredibles one frame at a time to become a better animator-- this is the stuff I happily do for free. I feel enormously grateful that I’ve been able to earn actual human dollars getting to collaborate with creative folks across the medium I love, and whether working as an animator, writer, producer, storyboard artist or director, my commitment is to bring this dedication of the craft to make something we can all be proud of.

I love connecting with fellow creatives so feel free to reach out if you’ve got a project in mind or if you’d just like to grab an expensive coffee in LA together and talk shop.
