#1 – Welcome to my Director's Reel. Every clip in this montage are from projects that I either Directed, Creative Directed, Art Directed, or Led. I’ve built and guided teams ranging from 4 all the way up to 78 people in the case of Metro6. While I come from a foundation in animation and motion, my work spans live-action, experiential, and interactive formats. The common thread: building strong teams and creating meaningful visual storytelling, regardless of the medium.
#2 – Below is my Interactive Reel. If you'd like to read more about this area, I have a full page dedicated to Interactive here: AR, VR, XR, real-time 3D, touch screens, projection, and just a lot of cool intersections of creative and technology.
#3 – Below is my Sports Reel. Sports has always been a part of my life. Growing up, I played sports, worked in sports selling concessions and souvenirs for major Bay Area teams, including the San Francisco 49ers, Giants, Oakland A's, and Raiders. A highlight of my career in animation and vfx has been my long-standing partnership with Visual Concepts, where I've had the privilege of contributing to several NBA2K game releases, including NBA2K24. I'm now directing a film "Love is a Championship" which combines sports and dating.
#4 – Below is my Character Driven Stories Reel. With the new tools out today, character driven stories are attainable within much smaller budgets than ever before. Team size depends on the projects, but imagine workflows where you have 5 artists instead of 25, or 2 instead of 10. Enterprise-like results on boutique budgets.

Unique Resume
Founded and Sold an animation company. Created an internationally recognized award winning animated short. Close to 20 years experience between training and working in Animation.
I've worked very hard to get where I am. When I graduated animation school I aspired to work in feature film creating imaginary worlds, animating light saber fights, or crafting dynamic characters for global audiences. None of that happened.
A new path: I started a company. Sold that company. Made a short film. It was award winning & played around the world.
Nothing I've done has been easy. I've earned my success by problem solving, overcoming budget and time limitations on countless projects, and motivating people that sometimes didn't want to be motivated.
