Quest for Camelot: Rough Inbetweener
About Me I was so blessed to start young in animation at the age of 14. I started at a small studio called Character Builders as an intern doing rough inbetweens for films like "Quest for Camelot", and "The Indescribable Nth". The studio shut down and I got another great opportunity to do everything from animation to EFX at another small studio called Calabash Animation.

I graduated high school and attended CalArts for a year. I took one year to study Biblical Studies back in Chicago and then returned as an animator on the film "Looney Tunes: Back in Action at the age of 20. Since then I have worked on too many films and projects to recollect. Currently I am an animator at Duncan Studios (owned and operated by Ken Duncan) doing Hand Drawn Animation, and I also consult/teach at the CalArts Character Animation program.
