CURRENT MISSION

To Bring Good Stories to Life

ABOUT ME

Along with the love of my life Melissa (CS: Mayabee) I strive to get the most out of life. Aside from my work with animation, I've done a lot of cyclist-advocacy work, local organisation, writing, lawn mowing, babysitting, marketing, and I'm sure there's more to come.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the summer of 2006 in South Africa working at an HIV clinic. Most of what I did had to do with setting up their computer network and consulting on their office structure but the best thing I did there was to organise weekly soccer games between the staff and the patients. Playing with all those "sick" people was amazing (and tiring) and certainly gave a lot of credit to how well you can live whilst being HIV+.

Teach, Learn, Share

I soak up knowledge all the time, so I suppose I can teach a LOT of trivia. I also know a bit about computers, animation, history and film.

I'd like to learn absolutely everything there is to learn.
