While growing up in a small town in Utah, I constantly had a book in my hands. As I finished one story, I eagerly anticipated how the next one would begin. Through this love of books, I developed a deep respect for the power of good storytelling. It never ceases to amaze me how a good story can span generations of time and touch the lives of all people, regardless of age, race, gender or nationality.

 I soon began to want not only just to consume good stories, but to help tell them myself. This desire led me to develop a strong interest in film and, in particular, animation. Through my university studies, I found how I can blend my technical skills with artistry to produce something that is not only entertaining, but has the potential to captivate audiences for years to come. My experiences so far in developing new stories have been much more rewarding than I ever could have imagined. Looking to the future, I can't wait to see what new stories will unfold.
