I am an Animator - Tester & Professional Nerd - Father & Husband - Enjoys Whiskey & Wine - Loves Film & Video Games I earned a B.S. in computer science from The Art Institute of California - Orange County, with a focus on media arts and animation in 2003. Landed my first industry job in QA at Blizzard Entertainment in 2004 and have been there ever since. Over these past 14 years, I've worked 4 years on the Quality Assurance Team, 7 years on the Blizzard Animation Team as an animator and 4 years on the Heroes of the Storm Team also as an animator. Currently back on the QA Team working on my animation reel. I've been lucky enough to work on beautifully detailed pre-rendered movies and epic fast paced video games. I'm a n00b to Twitch (started Feb. 2018) but I firmly believe in paying it forward so it's my goal on this stream to inspire and give a deeper insight into this art medium called: "animation".

1. To grow myself and this community in our art 2. Provide constructive and quality feedback 3. Show you a glimpse behind the scenes of animation 4. Answer any questions you might have about animation and film/game development 5. Have fun and enjoy this journey
