I grew up in New Orleans, went to college in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon. After graduating in 2001, I moved out to San Francisco. In 2003, I started teaching Maya at the Academy of Art University.

I love teaching, and getting in front of students and helping them to understand things I love to do (3d animation/interactive programming) is a constant joy.

I earned my master's degree at the University of California, Irvine, in the Arts, Computation, Engineering (ACE) department in 2005. Since then, I've returned to San Francsico to continue teaching Maya and MEL scripting at the Academy. To contact me, send me a message at:
