What is your name and your current occupation?

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? 
Number one by far would be my work on Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies, for which I won three Emmys and the Humanitas Prize.  Working with Jim was a true pleasure.  I later wrote a live-action screenplay for him, but sadly he passed before we could make the film.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
