While at BearSpots, a special division of Nelvana, he developed the digital animation style that was used for the series "Stickin' Around" as well as initiating the first use of Alias 3D software in the creation of the Nelvana Logo, featured during the final credits of Nelvana broadcast series for 10 years.
