    I believe the look of something or someone should tell you instantly the story behind them. I am currently on contract at the GM design center learning how design is the most important part of any product. I have been very fortunate to be able to learn from top designers in the automotive industry, how to work in a group, and create a solid product. Much of the stages of production and the principals I have learned at the GM Design Center can be translated into an any environment. My ability to learn quickly, creatively find solutions and work well in a group is the reason I am admired by my coworkers. I have always liked cars but my true passion is for animation.

    While attending Ringling College of Art and Design I majored in Computer Animation. For several years before going to Ringling I studied many classical arts which gave me a solid foundation. I have a strong drawing and composition knowledge that allows me to quickly and clearly express the emotion or idea I want to show.

    Specialties: Story telling, design, 3d modeling, home brewed beer and getting along with people.
