For more than 30 years, it has been my singular focus to develop, produce, and write animated stories and experiences for audiences young and young-at-heart.

I’m also passionate about educating people about the business of cartoons ! I do this via my YouTube Channel “Surviving Animation”, on my LinkedIN platform, and through direct consultations.

I have also taught in classroom settings, public speaking events, and business panel discussions.

Get in touch with me if you wanna talk the business of toons!

Nov. 14th, 2025 - I’ve completed my run as Executive Vice President of Creative Development at Falcon’s Beyond!

It was an incredible nearly five year journey and I couldn't be more thankful to all the people there and at Falcon's Creative Group, many of whom I now call friends.

Everyone taught me so much about the themed entertainment industry and I'm proud of the contributions I made to their strategies and culture while there.

There are things I'm very excited to be talking about as I enter into new adventures, but I'll save that for another post. Today and for the rest of the weekend, I'll just be sitting in gratitude to have been a small part of this organization's incredible story.

(BTW - that's me in 2023 being projected onto Time's Square the day the company went public on NASDAQ!)

NEW 30 MIN CONSULTATION RATE ($75 USD).

Recently, I’ve received a lot of messages asking for ‘quick advice’ on a project or a specific subject around the business of cartoons. Since many of these do not require a full hour to discuss in nuance, I am now opening-up this more affordable and effective way to just pick my brain! This shorter rate has a few caveats though:

1. I will not discuss any original unpublished creative works without a proper signed submission release form (I will send upon request).

2. I will not read or review any materials prior to the Zoom call.

3. I will not provide the direct contact information to my industry friends, work colleagues, or peers unless I specifically deem it worth their professional time.

If you’re interested in this new shorter talking session, feel free to contact me via the button at the top of this website!
