He graduated from the Art Institute of California – Orange County in 2007 and has since gained 15+ years of experience in the field. He started his career with Super Villain Studios as a 3D Modeler with the launch of “Order Up!” for the Nintendo WII as his first professional release. From there he shifted to Nickelodeon Animation Studio as a Character Modeler, where he began his career in TV Animation. He also worked with other big name companies like DreamWorks Animation as a Lead Character Modeler, as well as contributing his talents to a variety of shows, including “Critical Role – Vox Machina” for Amazon, “Wings of Fire” for Warner Brother Animation, and most recently “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory” for Netflix Animation as a 3D Character Designer.
