About John

Hello, I am a seasoned professional with 28 years of experience in Hollywood as an animator, visualization artist, producer, and director. My journey in the entertainment industry began at the age of 20 when I apprenticed as a Sound Designer on iconic TV shows like The Simpsons, Futurama, and King of the Hill. After earning a degree in Digital Filmmaking from The Art Institute, I landed my first animation and VFX role on Robot Chicken Season 4, where I received my first Production Emmy Award. Over the years, I have contributed as a VFX Artist and Animator to acclaimed TV series such as Mary Shelley's Frankenhole, Moral Orel, and Amazon's Tumble Leaf, which earned me two additional Production Emmy Awards. My expertise extends to major feature films, including Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers the Movie, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Wicked 1 & 2, Thunderbolts, and many more. Beyond animation and VFX, I have directed and produced commercials for TV, film, and the internet, showcasing my versatility and creativity across various media platforms. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping aspiring artists unlock their potential. Whether you're interested in animation, VFX, storytelling, or directing, I am here to guide you with industry insights and hands-on expertise.
