With the release of Finding Dory, I was given the opportunity to by interviewed by my hometown paper, the Philadelphia Inquirer, as well as Philly.com. It’s been a lot of fun to share my work at Pixar with all of my friends and family back home!

I was recently invited to speak and lead a tour of the Science Behind Pixar Exhibit in Philadelphia by Drexel University.
I was thrilled to be home, meet so many Pixar fans and students, and share some of my work and the work so many technical artists do in Animation and Visual Effects.
In light of the attention surrounding Borrowed Time and some the more mature themes it presented, I was invited to chat about “Animation for Adults” late last year on this podcast. Thank you to Rachael, Chris, Dan and Yvonne for having me!

Inside Out won Best Animated Feature Film at the Academy Awards last weekend!
After spending a year on The Good Dinosaur, it going on hold for a bit, and now spending one more year helping the project cross the finish line, we’re happy to show off the first full trailer for the project! It’s hard to believe that Pixar will have two projects released in the same year. I hope everyone enjoys the trailer!
2014 was a great year. I had a lot of fun making things with cool people. I backed off of sculpting for a bit to focus on directing and producing some live action short films. A group of friends and I collaborated on a 48 hour festival short film project called “This Boy,” and on two additional shorts called “Voice Memo No. 5” and “Reconnecting.” I’ve learned a lot throughout those little productions and hope to keep creating things in 2015!
I had the pleasure of joining the Artistic Awareness podcast recently to chat about just that, “Awareness,” and what it means to me as a filmmaker. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out the other episodes from the Artistic Awareness crew!
Monsters University was the third Pixar film that I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of as both a Character Cloth Artist and a Crowds Shot Artist. Read More
