I'm very passionate about 3D. I'm currently helping students in Maya, Z-Brush, Blender, Substance Painter, and Procreate. I've been teaching Autodesk Maya and Maxon ZBrush at a college level for 18 years. I'm currently teaching along side professional Disney Animators at Laguna College of Art + Design (LCAD). I have experience tutoring students 1-on-1 since 2006. In 2010 I won "Teacher of the Year" at my college and two years later I won a world wide award "CG and VFX instructor of the...

Phenomenal lesson
I’m relatively new to Blender and David was able to answer all my questions and address my concerns. For example, David showed me that I can increase the resolution of my model a lot higher than I would have expected without my computer crashing. He also explained that there are advantages to working with a low-res model and to have the flexibility to go back and forth between low res and high res. I feel that I am in very capable hands. I have never felt so confident and optimistic about becoming a professional 3D modeler. I believe that David is a wonderful tutor. He has exceeded all my expectations.

Knowledgeable and patient!
David has been an amazing tutor! He has helped our daughter learn Maya and was very professional and patient. Our daughter has more confidence now to tackle her assignments. I would recommend him highly to anyone!

A true expert and a great teacher
I had a somewhat advanced and complicated problem involving a character rig, weight-painting, and blendshapes in Maya and David was fantastic at helping me understand the problem and the solution. He not only took time to patiently teach me how to get my character where I wanted it to be, but he also sent video recordings of the lesson so I could be sure to follow through on my own after the lesson. I 100% recommend David as a tutor!

David saved my project at the 11th hour
I'd been working on a VR modeling project for weeks, but there were things I just couldn't understand. In desperation, right before it was due, I decided to find a tutor. David was expensive, but his knowledge and experience were just what I was looking for. He explained things clearly and helped me finish the project. It was well worth it.

keeps the momentum
David was not just helpful, he kept the momentum of the lesson going. He was able to navigate with where I was..an ability of a real teacher…where many others aren’t as creative in the guiding process. A real solid hour of going from ABC to at least LMNOP. Highly recommend if you’re ready to take things up a notch.

A real solid hour of going from ABC to at least LMNOP. Highly recommend if you’re ready to take things up a notch.
