Experience

• Story, 3D Artist at Octosphere Studio

  Seattle, WA, United States of America

  January 2017 - Present

  Currently taking on every role in the process (from pre- to post-pro) to create the animatic cartoon series for children, “Lair of Forgotten Bears” (www.LairofForgottenBears.com), but it’s my mission to join a team driven by passion to create ground-breaking work with story and character.

• Author, Illustrator at Rothco Press / Armadillo Books

  Los Angeles, CA, United States of America

  January 2005 - Present

  I’m the author of nine books and the illustrator for six of those.

• Screenwriter at Self

  Vancouver, BC, Canada

  September 2013 - June 2018

  I’ve written a half dozen scripts. One, my science fiction adventure., Next Rest Stop Earth was optioned in 2017, but never produced. In 2018 I directed my sci-fi short, Clickbait.

• Creative Director at Advertising Agencies

  San Francisco, United States of America

  May 2005 - May 2016

  As the creative team lead I was responsible for writing television and radio scripts, directing commercials, crafting creative briefs, overseeing quality control, and most importantly — making sure my team was challenged and proud of the work we produced. Advertising had the fast-pace atmosphere I crave, allowing me to continuously learn from my team and problem solve on-the-fly.

• INSTRUCTOR at Academy of Art University,

  San Francisco, United States of America

  April 2004 - November 2006

  I was honored to be asked to teach Introduction to Advertising and Senior Portfolio with a focus on concept at my alma mater. This ranks as one of my greatest accomplishments, not only because I was able to teach, but because my students inspired me and pushed my creativity every week.
