About Me

I was a Disney effects animator in the Florida studio for 15 years and it was the best job in the world... that is until they closed the studio and laid everyone off! Next I produced a documentary about being laid off by Disney called "Dream On Silly Dreamer". The DVD, loaded with nearly 2 hours of extras, is available for purchase at www.DreamOnSillyDreamer.com or you can download the movie from the iTunes Music Store

We took the doc to film festivals around the United States and in England. "Dream On Silly Dreamer" has also played in Australia, Canada and Ireland and last year we were given an Annie Award for our efforts. Now I work for another animation studio, Premise Entertainment, also great place to work. We did about 25 minutes of the "Curious George" feature and most recently worked on the new Goofy short, "How To Hook Up Your Home Theater". So it looks like I'm in this crazy business to stay... or until I'm laid off again!
