I'm a Florida Native.  My two favorite things about Florida are the beach and Florida citrus.

I attended the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!!) in Orlando, where I received a BFA in Computer Animation.  I also specialized in Music Technology, and 3d Design / Sculpture.  While in Orlando, I studied voice-overs and became a professional voice-over talent.

After graduation I worked for a big marketing and media company, working on advertisements for clients found throughout the USA and Canada.  Some of the clients included Burger King, Dunkin Doughnuts, Autoway, Subway, Arby's, Shoe Carnival, Popeye's Chicken, KFC, Church's Chicken, Quiznos, Firehouse Subs, Carvel, Baskin Robin's, Taco Bell, Direct TV, Comcast, and many others. I worked on both Mac and PC with 1, 2, and 4-color print processes.  Freelance projects have included photography, videography, filming, editing, DVD authoring, live TV studio experience with Access Pinellas, as well as experience as issue editor for a magazine publication.  I have also designed custom computers with hardware to meet specifications of industry professionals such as industrial designers, computer animators, and music composers.

My philosophy in teaching is to visualize or illustrate concepts into practical and easy to understand ideas.  Multimedia and historical content can give broader perspective, and make learning much easier to absorb, and remember.
