I'm currently working as a Principal Animator for Piranha Games Inc. My wife and I live in Vancouver where we spend a lot of time enjoying the temperate beauty it has to offer.

​I recently helped my friend ship his indie game The Fall 2: Unbound. Working with him and the rest of the Over The Moon Games crew was a great experience.

At The Coalition I was given a great opportunity to animate on Gears of War 4. This gave me a chance to work more with motion capture, key frame animation, cameras, Maya and the Unreal 4 engine.

I have 17 years of experience animating in games and I've spent a lot of time stringing together motion trees and blending animations together. I've mentored other animators and helped with the production side of projects. I also have a few years of doing 2d work in software like Flash and Spine.  

In my spare time I do a lot of playing hockey, 
figure drawing, traveling, sculpting in Zbrush,  digital painting and lately I've also been messing around with Copic markers and inks.
