Profile Information

Tell us your story:: I am a Joe Kubert School Graduate looking to explode on the animation field. I decided to be a cartoonist at a young age and created my first character, Ronnie Raccoon, at age 8. Ronnie's still stuck with me all these years, and serves as my personal mascot of sorts. I created my first animated short, "Gunk in Abductard" during my final year of school in 2008. Currently I'm looking for jobs in the New York/New Jersey area, but I'm not too stubborn to move if it means I can find decent work as cartoon talent.

Hometown:: Branchburg, NJ

About Me:: I graduated the Joe Kubert School in 2008, where I learned how to do every step of traditional animation production, including writing, storyboards, layouts, inbetweening, and classic animation principles. To test all these out, I created a three and a half minute short for the final year there using all the skills I was taught. I'm currently looking to make a mark in the cartoon industry one way or another.
