PCA&D Animation & Game Art class of 2021
I am an Assistant Professor and a founding faculty member of the Animation & Game Art BFA program with Pennsylvania College of Art & Design. Since their launch in 2015, I have helped design and teach their 3D animation classes. In 2021 I now serve as the department chair.

Since 2018 I have had the privilege of teaching the Senior Studio course sequence in which students produce their senior capstone short films. We take their approved animatic to a fully animated short film in two semesters using an AGILE-ish approach.

I also serve as faculty advisor for the PCA&D ACM SIGGRAPH Student Chapter.
