I grew up smack in the middle of the country in Kansas, in the Kansas City metro area. Through a turn of fate I ended up living in Utah and studying at BYU. I graduated in 2003 and worked on Lemmings. Since graduating I've worked for Digital Domain, Dreamworks two times, Pixar two times and now Meta.

I grew up in Michigan, and met Brent as a teenager touring the animation program. I started in 2012 and graduated in 2015. I worked at Disney Interactive, Moonbot, and Psyop the year after I graduated, and ended up at Pixar the beginning of 2016. I've worked on some great projects in my time at Pixar, and hope to continue making more.
