He has an extensive background, working for Hanna Barbera Studios, Disney and then creating his own animation company with his wife, Calabash Animation.

Ed is the leader of our animation classes, which allow children to explore their own creativity. Children create their own story, draw pictures and put it together into a short, animated video. Upon completion of the class, we have a movie night here at Hummingbird for all the young artists and their families to view their "movies" in our gym, turned movie theater.
Ed's warm personality, creativity and unending patience make this class one of a kind!
