Biography

Creator of Omega Hazard, Blue Mercy, Pipe Vortex, F5 Phantom, and other upcoming projects

I was raised in a suburb of Chicago. During my elementary years, I watched copious amounts of anime and action cartoons on television with my cousins after school. I always had an attraction to aliens, robots, monsters, shapeshifters, dragons, and transformation sequences. During my senior year in high school, I decided to attend Columbia College Chicago to study animation and writing. 

During college, I studied all aspects of traditional 2D animation. I also put my creative writing skills to work and my tenacity yielded five major scholarships that helped finance my education. Within three years, I created a wide range of short films, from the horrifying Project: Kirithra, to the action-packed Omega Hazard pilots, the melancholic dark fantasy Blue Mercy, and most recently, the Plainfield 1990: The F5 Phantom mini-documentary and the comedic Pipe Vortex. I also collaborated with others on Columbia's Animation Production Studio’s Office Race. In my free time, I watch and study all kinds of animated content, enjoy voice acting, and write for Reedsy, creating all sorts of short stories.

I have since graduated with honors and am looking forward to starting my career as a professional animator.
