I've been involved with art and drawing since I was a young kid in elementary school. Years of constantly doodling on homework's and in the margins of my notebook led me on a path towards animation. My greatest inspiration for effects animation was work by Silver Age Disney and Japanese Anime Movies. After seeing the masterful work from talented animation studios I began to animate and experiment in my free time. This eventually led me to attending Sam Houston State University and getting my BFA in Animation. The long journey through the program allowed me to learn the pipeline and process of creating an animation. I learned the fundamentals of animation and realized I had a knack for effects animation. This newly acquired knowledge gave me much confidence in my abilities as  animator ​
