I have always had a love of puppets and forms of fantastic and wonder filled entertainment. It is what drew me to puppets and animation. And it is fantastic that I can access my love of performing, dance, and martial arts to make good stuff happen.

I can work "blue", but like doing things that work for a "General" audience. The PIXAR, Disney, Muppet audience.

I have had the chance to make millions of people happy with the Sims, and then helping out on Meet the Robinsons. And I intend to do that kind of Kermit/Muppet Movie "Dream Thing" for the foreseeable future.

below is a short mpeg of "mbeh!"
