Animation Mentor is putting the student highlight back into the hands of the students.  We let students create whatever they want – revealing themselves by sharing video, text, and anything else they feel is appropriate.  If you are currently an Animation Mentor student and you’d like to participate, send an email to newsletter (at) animationmentor.com and we’ll do our best to fit you in!

Hello everybody! Just want to drop a quick line of thanks for spending some of your time getting to know me. Armed with a webcam and a wild desire to share a little bit of who I am with all of you, I’ve put together a short video detailing a little about me and why I’m so dang crazy about Animation Mentor. Enjoy!

Halloween in the Magic Kingdom, October of 2008!
From left to right it is me, Taylore, Mickey Mouse (he dressed up), Ry’n, my 3-year-old Parker and my wife Brittney.

The kids and I with Darth Maul. He’s my favorite–think I can get George to write me in as Darth Oz?

My wedding day in 2001, with my beautiful wife Brittney in the background.

I hate to admit it, I was a professional once. This photo is proof!
