He began creating his own characters, his own worlds and storylines. It was his frequent trips to the local movie theater that planted the seed for a future career at Walt Disney Animation Studios. He made sure to see all of Disney's classic animated films on the big screen. Animation was quickly becoming his favorite form of visual storytelling, so at the ripe old age of 8 years old, he just knew he wanted to work for Disney

In 1989, a family trip to Walt Disney World gave him his first real glimpse of animator at work.
