I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me



I'm a ninja . Well, maybe not, but it would be pretty cool if I was. In reality I am an animator/designer/editor/director/whatever-er that is full of ideas and trying to get them out of my head. You'll often find me with my sketchbook down at Ralph's in Worcester listening to fine tunes, eating a burger, throwing back a beer, or some combination of all three. I did a little stint in Los Angeles but came back to MA... I'm more of a Northeasterner than a SoCal dude. Now I can freeze in the winter, yet look forward to getting to Fenway when it warms up a bit. My big "claim to fame" is when I was on the front cover of The Onion . Got a killer idea for a film? Think I'd like the book you're reading? Have a few extra cases of Newcastle sitting around? We need to talk.

Oh yeah, my friends and I throw killer Halloween parties.

What choo talkin' bout, WILLIS ?
