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 Pixologic ZBrush at a college level for 15 years. I've also worked for the Digital Media Academy and have taught Maya and ZBrush to a wide range of learners spanning from high school students to instructors. 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 ...

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!
- Annalisa P. from Boerne, TX
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!

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.
- Julia W. from Northbrook, IL
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.

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?presenting GIFTS of knowledge at the end. A real solid hour of going from ABC to at least LMNOP. Highly recommend if you?re ready to take things up a notch.

I cannot day enough wonderful things about David. He was an incredible tutor who helped my son a lot. He really went out of his way to make sure he understood everything

David is beyond just a tutor. He has a deep understanding of complex tasks in 3d modeling and animation that allow him to go above and beyond every session. He has granted me the confidence to undergo animation when I was almost going to quit! He also has a special expertise in human anatomy and the motions of the human body that all apply to every domain beyond just the structure and motion involved in the human body. When troubleshooting, he is able to do so quickly because of his deep understanding of animation software such as Maya. He has even built out a YouTube channel that has complete explanations of tasks that ever require further referencing for the user. Thank you David!!!
- Victor A. from Jarbidge, NV
David did an outstanding job at helping me with my project in Maya. I had tried 6 other tutors before David and got nowhere, usually ending up with me paying for someone to say "Im not sure". However once I met with him it was fast, concise, easy to understand, and professional. I cannot recommend his services enough, and I will definitely be going to him first with any other questions I have! THANK YOU!!

David is very obviously an effective ZBrush teacher. I hired him because I have lost time/money on free/paid courses that left me feeling frustrated- and his credentials and work examples seemed to be very impressive. Within one hour class he got a feel for where I wanted to go with my learning and we covered UI basics, workflow concepts, brushes, masking, painting, and more. He was open to answering and exploring any questions I had (which was a lot). I look forward to having more classes. ZBrush is the least friendly to beginners and competent teachers are incredibly scarce. his rate is on the high end for Wyzant but I'd have to say it's definitely a steal as far as ZBrush is concerned and well worth the headache of watching aimless tutorials and time wasted thinking you'll figure it out on your own.

David is very knowledgeable and his explanations are patient and detailed. I have worked with him several times now and he?s always able to answer my questions thoroughly and in under an hour. David also provides additional resources to accelerate my progress after each session.
- Nathan T. from Burlingame, CA
David helped me learn a specific function of Photoshop with which I was having trouble. He was very patient and offered multiple ways to address my lack of knowledge on that Photoshop feature and I was finally able to get it to work for me. Planning on setting up another session soon to go over something different where I could use some improvement.
- David P. from Charlotte, NC
David really knows Procreate and most importantly, how to teach it. I have learned so much and am looking forward to more tips and trick and techniques as we go.
- Janis R. from Oakland, CA
David was able to teach me how to create a clipping mask, something I have needed to know for years! He is personable, patient and very knowledgable. Thanks David!
- Susan T. from Fort Worth, TX
David is an amazing tutor. I am currently learning Substance Painter, Maya, and Zbrush. David can easily teach all three pieces of software at once and make them all work together. He is providing me the tools and knowledge that allows me to create whatever I can dream up.
- Michael F. from Irvine, CA
David provides a high level of expertise while maintaining the delivery of instructions that emphasize the foundations of procedures. The lessons are timely in progression and ensure each step is modeled explained and remodeled together in order to ensure both concept and application are understand.
- Justin O. from Seattle, WA
Highly recommend, very easy to learn from and did a great job helping me with some specific issues I had in photoshop!
- Melanie S. from Whitesboro, TX
David helped my son figure out an animation he had been stuck on for weeks. He gave him a new way of looking at it and some tools to accomplish what he wanted. They worked it out and it looks like my son is much less stressed out now! Thank you.

David went above and beyond to research an issue that my daughter was stuck on in Maya. He really worked with her to get her back on track. He was very fast to respond, flexible with his schedule and with working out technical issues that came up. We will absolutely be using him again and really appreciate his effort, knowledge and skill!
- Roberta S. from Reston, VA
David quickly was able to determine where my skill was at so we could drive right into what I wanted to learn, which is workflow. He explained everything in a way that I was able to understand, and left me with real steps to work on in my workflow. Looking forward to my next session!
