Where are you Originally from?
Lansing, MI

What brought you to the DAVE School?
I was in the process of looking for a school and I saw an article in the local newspaper about the DAVE School, so I looked it up online and it seemed like a great place. I flew out to Florida and when I visited the school I found it was exactly what I was looking for.

Did you always want to do CG for a living?
I had always wanted to do something with computers, and after watching a lot of movies, and shows I decided that this is what I wanted to do.

Whats some things you learned at the School that has helped you in your new job?
I learned how to manage my time and be able to get through a lot of shots quickly without mistakes. I also learned how to trouble shoot and problem solve because things don't always go as planned.

What did you enjoy most about your experience at DAVE?
I really liked the instructors. Having someone who has real work experience in the field teaching us is very helpful. The way they teach the class makes it like a job, so when you get a job it takes the stress away and makes it really easy to adapt to your new work environment.
