I started rotoscoping frames from the screen of my television when I was 7. Thirty-three years have passed and I still haven't stopped animating.

Animation has always been important to me. Due to my autism, I didn’t speak until age six, but I was drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil and taught myself stop motion.I founded DaniMation when I was fourteen, initially to produce my own animation series, but quickly found a niche by teaching animation to others with autism—becoming asocial entrepreneur, first in the US and now internationally in addition to my original goal of animation production. Professionally, I earned a BFA in animation and an MBA, and premiered 9 animated shorts at San Diego Comic-Con.
