An Italian-American native of New Jersey, I earned a BFA in Film and Television at New York University, and studied figure drawing at the Art Students' League of New York.
I have worked for three decades as an animation artist in television, film, and internet.
My style and approach have been influenced by mentors John Canemaker and the late Tissa David.
I have also spent time as a Benedictine monk.

Cinderella III: A Twist in Time


































This storyboard sequence was done under the fine direction of Frank Nissen, for the Disney picture Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.  It "reads" even without the dialogue, although I have included here a line I added at the end to emphasize the cruelty of Cinderella's jealous stepmother.  (graphite and black china marker on paper, c. Disney 2007)
