PCA&D Animation & Game Art class of 2021
PCA&D Animation & Game Art class of 2021
I am Department Chairperson 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 as one of their first adjunct hires. In 2021 I was promoted to full time faculty and chair.

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.
Our student films have received a number of awards and honors, including:
