I'm a versatile and dynamic award winning director with a compelling visual style possessing extensive storytelling experience in digital animation as well as live action. Involved in the entertainment industry since the history making television series REBOOT (first aired in 1994), I've become a leader in my field successfully directing over 18 feature length CG animated films and many television episodes for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sony, Mattel, Hasbro and Spinmaster.
Below are select sequences of my multi-faceted directing work in CG animation and live-action.

I'm consistently striving to push the creative and technical thresholds in all genres from dramatic character driven stories to action packed visually striking adventure sci-fi fantasies. Some of my directing credits include helming the Daytime Emmy Award and Leo Award winning The Last Kids On Earth for Netflix. Super Dinosaur an Amazon Prime TV series by Robert Kirkman and Jason Howard for Skybound and Spinmaster Entertainment where I was nominated for Best Director at the 2019 Canadian Screen Awards. The incredibly successful animated musical Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper for Mattel Entertainment awarded "Children's Title of the Year" at the VSDA Awards in 2005 and 6 nominations at the 2005 DVD Exclusive Awards, including "Best Director". The top selling fantasy adventure Fairytopia DTV series received nominations for "Best Director" for British Columbia's Leo Awards in 2007; as well as the Elan Awards in 2006 and 2007.
My love for impactful, exciting and emotional storytelling fuels my passion to explore new and creative animation expressions by utilizing innovative techniques in both classic keyframing and photo-realistic performance capture to move viewers that no other medium can.
