“When you take something that's inert, and through motion, give it life, make it appear to be alive, living, breathing, thinking and

having emotions, that's animation…”

-John Lasseter

I was born in Augsburg, Germany.

I was born into a military family.

Which means I traveled to many parts of the world.

With travel comes with adapting to your environment,

willingness to learn new cultures, interacting with new

people, and overall…

ACCEPTING CHANGE

I’ve learned you will never experience something new without CHANGE. This is what I live by.

Learning to adapt to change, there was one thing that was always unknowingly changing…

I discovered my natural talent..

I was always top artist in any of my art classes competing with my twin brother.

After seeing Pixar’s films, I immediately knew this was my

FUTURE.

Pixar’s animated films

ignited my PASSION for the art of animation.

Rekindled my CREATIVITY.

That’s why I enrolled at FullSail University

So what makes me different than

other artists?

I have the mindset of a Pixar artist.

I don’t settle for nothing less than the BEST.

QUALITY is my most important factor. Andrew  Ford,  21  digital

It’s those small details that makes artwork STAND OUT.

I am ALWAYS willing to learn.

I can work under pressure and DELIVER.

I put ALL my time and effort into my work.

Because having that satisfied feeling when I accomplish something new, just makes me wanting to CREATE MORE.

I believe Pixar’s 3D animated films has opened the eyes of every artist to what

animation can really achieve.

And I strive to be apart of this inspiring studio.

With my addition to Pixar using my artistic skills and creative mindset, I believe Pixar’s films will produce new

innovative animations giving

new meaning to life in the 3D world.

“Everything I do and everything Pixar does is based on

a simple rule:

QUALITY is the best business plan, PERIOD.”

So success is as John Lasseter states:

Art just makes life that much more interesting…

So let’s go out there and CREATE it.

Thank you!
