Bio

I have a BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design in Animation (2006). I am currently teaching as a part-time adjunct at Northwest Vista College here in San Antonio. I am teaching an animation and rigging class in 3ds Max.

From August 2006 until July 2010, I worked on a project called Pulse!! It was a medical training game, designed to train doctors, nurses and medics to care for patients. Our gaming engine was Gamebryo. I was responsible for not only rigging most of our characters, but for designing the facial rigs for our NPCs from scratch, and managed to accomplish that when I didn't even know very much about 3ds Max. Talk about a challenge. I am now well versed in 3ds Max, and especially character studio, as most of my work was centered on creating animations for the game.

I also know Maya really well, and love rigging in it. I used Maya exclusively while I was an undergrad. In my spare time, I still work in it. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, and I backpacked through Italy, France and England in May of 2009. I hope to go again soon.
