My goal is to be a character modeler for feature animation.

I think from an early age I have known I was a creator. It wasn't until I was in community college that I knew that I wanted to be in this industry. After completing my AAS, and soon into pursuing my BFA in digital animation, I realized that character sculpture was my real passion.
