Embracing the inner cartoon and confused strangers

About Me

Life is a series of risks. If you take no risks, you don't live.
Production Coordinator/Assistant Producer on a bunch o' cartoon shows. I like going to ska shows, going to the beach, ice blocking, watching movies, writing and every now and then making a film if the pieces fall together.
I also enjoy avalanche surfing, leisurely night-time rocket-car jumps over army tanks filled with crocodiles whose brains have been switched with those of nazis and also they have opposable thumbs, holding hands, ghost-riding my mountain bike, candle-lit hamster knife fights, overly- compilcated, overly-hyphenated, non-sequitor filled lists, Swedish Fish.
My dream... to one day have my own cartoon show; episodes are being written now.
