I was born and raised in Tennessee. I knew I wanted to be an animator from an early age, when I began drawing animated flip-books during 5th grade. After graduating early from high school, I moved out to San Francisco, CA to attend the Academy of Art University (AAU). I've earned a Bachelor's Degree in 3D Animation and Visual Effects from the Academy of Art, as well as specializing in character rigging. I love to animate, drive, ride motorcycles, dance to a good beat, and act like a goofball (on occasion). Variety is the spice of life and I'm always up for something new and exciting!
