This Section of training is specific for
Business Professionals of America
​Competitions

In this area you will find is a collection of videos that hopefully serve as training to help people prepare for BPA competitions. Originally I concocted this idea to merely help my students only, but after attending Nationals 2017-2018 I discovered that most of the students in attendance at nationals were self taught. This reality hit me like a ton of bricks and so I am endeavoring to develop a program here on this web site to combat and defeat this issue.

I will be working in Maya in these videos
Autodesk Maya is an amazing program that is used world wide. Hollywood uses it, as well most of all of the smaller studios world wide. It is heavily relied upon for Modeling (creating 3d objects), Animation, Rigging, and more. Fortunately Autodesk has released an Education/Student version for all of us to use for FREE.
