2020.
A few weeks ago marked my 3rd year living in Montreal, and working at Method. It made me realize how quickly 2020 went by with little to nothing to mark the passage of time- my annual trip to Comic Con in San Diego, my regular visits to NYC to see family, my travels to see

New Year News!
Tomorrow I head off to Montreal where I’ll be starting the new year animating on the next Robert Zemeckis movie. I realize I could’ve picked better timing (-22 F)! Hoping those dormant Scandinavian genes kick back in. 2017 has been a humbling and inspiring experience animating on “Film 5” with the talented crew at Laika.
Hectic Holiday
This month has been one crazy wrap up to 2017, starting in Texas and ending in NYC with trips to Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle in between (and a big move out of country, more details on that later). I’ll be with family in New York for the holiday before moving on to my final destination

Tomorrow I embark on what in total will be 6 weeks of traveling. It is also my last day on my current project at Sony, at least for now. I’ll be starting off with 16 days in NYC where I’ll be helping out with my sister’s new baby girl who was born this morning (separate post on that to
