I have taught college art and animation since 2001, and prior to that I was Teach For America Teacher in Baltimore (High School English and Humanities) and a volunteer art instructor at Long Lane Prison in CT. I recieved city and state awards in Maryland for teaching excellence and Nintendo of America gave me this this bit of wackiness.

In Summer 2005 I taught at Pixar Studios: a Master Class in 3D modeling with Maya to the Layout team.
Currently, I teach in the Media Arts & Animation department at The New England Institute of Art.
