What or who influenced you to started animating?

My high school guidance councilor steered me toward the Sheridan Animation Program, because all I did was draw during high school.

Do you work in the industry or create animation as a hobby?

Animation is both my career and my hobby.

Tell us a bit about the software and hardware used in your creative work.

Whatever does the trick, except for 3D. I don't go near the stuff.

Where has your work been showcased on television, internet, film festivals, mobile etc?

"The Z-Files" have been shown on G4TV, Nicktoons, and the Ottawa Animation Festival. It's a series where I take the real audio from old propaganda films that were meant to be very series at the time they were made and show how absurd they are today.

Any projects we can look forward to seeing from you in the near future?

I am working on a series called "The Refreshing Adventures Of Toilet Puck." It is about a Super Hero Washroom.

Can you recommend an animation film or animation book that every animator should see/read?

The Illusion Of Life, Any "Art Of..." Pixar book
