I'm an upstart young animator trying to figure out how to break down the barriers between me and better me.

I grew up in southern Rhode Island and went to school at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, graduating in 2003. I've been working as a character animator at Anzovin Studio in Amherst ever since. I like to travel and have spent some time kayaking in Florida, and driving to almost all of the states in the US, mostly for outdoorsy reasons. I LOVE National Parks.

For now, I'm living in Northampton, MA and my immediate goals are to spend more time outside hiking, kayaking, etc; and to keep my happy brain factor going by working at and co-directing a short film at Anzovin Studio, doing my best at Animation Mentor, and trying to squeeze a social life in that whole mess.
