About

I started my career as a 2D animator at MTV on Beavis & Butt-Head and then moved to LA to work on King of the Hill & The Simpsons. When not working as a professional animator I spent 15 years working with the Art Institutes as an Instructor, then as an Academic Director and created the most successful Video Game production training programs in the system.

I founded OW! (Online Worlds) Entertainment in 1997 to create virtual worlds for movie & TV properties.
For several years, I focused on the emerging XR industry managing productions, designing pipeline models, game/experience design, strategic planning, and developing studio pitches for AR & VR based on major Hollywood IP.

I currently spend most of my time as a Creative Media Consultant designing training programs and production pipelines for animation, video game & XR production. I also am actively a speaker at various industry-related events.

For over a year I have been active in the role of project lead of the LA Game Project where I work to implement the new Game Art & Design program I helped get approved to the 19 community colleges in the Los Angeles region. I am also in charge of developing a new inter-campus Esports League.
