What can a person really say about himself? Perhaps I am the sum of what I have accomplished and what I feel. I was born in Erie Pennsylvania and lived there until I moved out here to California. Erie was a great place to grow up, but as I grew older, I started to realize that it was not the place for me. I wanted to be nearer to where the action was. I decided that San Francisco was the place for me after I learned about the Academy of Art. Toronto almost got me though since I have visited there several times and enjoyed it every time. At one point I even looked for an apartment there. I studied computer animation at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I was unsure about going to an art school since in the past I have been a highly technical type of person (nerd). I always have enjoyed art though and did feel that if I could make money doing it that I would. I attended Penn State University for a few semesters for Electrical Engineering, but I decided that that was a mistake and that I really didn't belong there. Probably my proudest moment was when I received the award of Eagle Scout. I had a ceremony with three of my friends who also received it at the same time. I primarily consider myself to be an inventor. It doesn't really matter to me if I am working on a computer animation or a robot or a new recipe. As long as I have something new to do I am happy. Someday I would like to travel and see new places, but I cannot see that happening anytime in the near future. I have recently graduated from my school and am pursuing finding a job. I don't have a real preference towards where I want to work. Anything that keeps me doing new and exciting things will do. Of course there is a $1.00 bet that I have with a friend of mine about who will have their name on the big screen first. I would like to win that bet, so my first job may be with a company that is currently working on a film. This page last updated 6/9/00.
