About Me

My name is Mike Harris and I'm a former student at Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood, California. I'm currently working as an Technical Director at Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, CA. I've lived in the Southern California area for most of my life with the exception being during my service in The U.S. Army in Operation Desert Storm back in the early '90's. For a brief time before and after Saudi Arabia I was stationed at The Rock in Kirchgoens Germany. There I was assigned to 2-3 Field Artillary 3rd Armor Division as an Ammunition Specialist. For the last 10 years I've been working as a Design Engineer in the Semiconductor Industry but it's time for a change... Working on films has been a long time dream of mine and I recently decided it's time to make that dream a reality.
