About Me

I was born in the North East of Britain in a small town called Hartlepool in 1988.
Since then i haven't really moved a great distance from Hartlepool, at the moment i am located in Middlesbrough as i am studying Digital Character Animation at Teesside University.

In the way of education i went to Stockton Riverside College where i studied e-Media, this course covered a wide range of things including HTML, Film Production, Sound Production, 3D Animation, 2D Animation, Life Drawing and composting. Once i graduate in 2006 and moved to Middlesbrough and started my Digital Character Animation course focuses on Character Animation both 2d and 3d, Life Drawing, Story Telling, Modelling, Texturing, Rigging and Lighting. I will be graduating from Teesside University Summer 2010.

As well as College and University I have spent the most of my life studying animation through analyzing other peoples work such as Gobelins, Animation Mentor, CalArts and Vancouver Film School, Jason Ryan and Digital Tutors.

I have met some really great people on the way to where i am now. Due to Teesside University I have had the opportunity to attend a great festival called Animex where i have met and studied under the watch of Mark Walsh, Ed Hooks, Stuart Sumida and Curtis Jobling which has made me a better animator for it.

I just want to thank all my family and friends that have helped me to get to where i am this day and all the people will help me get further.
