He is one of the longest continuously employed artists at Disney. In over 30 years, his contributions to animation have included several leading Disney characters, mostly heroines. His work includes: Princess Jasmine in "Aladdin," Belle in "Beauty and the Beast," Ariel in "Little Mermaid," Young Simba in "The Lion King" and Mulan in "Mulan". He was also the animator of the 2007 film "Enchanted", and he directed the award-winning short film, "John Henry." Additionally, he was the supervising animator of Princess Tiana in Disney's "The Princess and the Frog." He has been nominated for an Annie award four times: three times for Character Animation for "The Lion King," "Mulan," and "Winnie the Pooh," and once for Short Animated Film Direction for "John Henry." Recently, he served as one of the lead animators, overseeing the development of all of the characters on the Oscar-winning film "Frozen". 

Emily Belz of World Magazine says that he is a Christian. In an interview, she asked him, "How does your faith play into your work, into character development and storytelling?" He said, "It’s a global impact as well as day-to-day and scene-to-scene. I’m very blessed. … This has been my boyhood dream to be a Disney animator. I’ve seen a lot of change and a lot of ups and downs. I was almost fired at one point. God has been incredibly gracious to allow me to be here, and I feel like this is where I’m supposed to be... God has gotten me through many a tough day and tough scene and tough production schedule. It’s nice to work for a company where the basic values we want to put across in our films are right in line with my faith."
