CURRENT MISSION

Adventure!

ABOUT ME

Let's see... I grew up in places like South Africa, Pakistan, and Uruguay. Been hopping about the US since 1998. I generally do like to travel a lot, and try not to stay more than a year in a single place (which is getting harder and harder to do!). I am a 3D animator looking for a solid gig that will let me pursue other hobbies in my free time, assuming I get any.

PHILOSOPHY

There is nothing to fear, and nothing to doubt.

Fear eats the soul.

Also:
Mo' money, mo' problems.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I survived getting sucked out into a rip current. That was cool...

But on another note, watching baby turtles hatching from their eggs and scrambling into the sea was an amazing sight. I was in Pakistan at the time, and my parents took me to this annual event in the dead of night. The moonlight bounced perfectly off the juices on the turtlings' shells. The breaks between the waves were filled with the energetic scuttle of tiny turtle fins. This is something I would love to see again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I find myself with bits and pieces of odds and ends of knowledge. I'm by trade an animator, so there's knowledge of the film/animation industry I know plenty about, practical or not. I'm also an avid athlete, and I love to share training tips on the eve of a race.
