Sam DeBey is a digital animator and a good friend of mine. Sam’s story has brought him from being an art student in San Jose, to living in his mom’s hotel in the Seychelles, to sailing his boat down the eastern seaboard during hurricane sandy.

As an animator, he has made videos you might have been exposed to - some with Vin DiCarlo, and others with Ashton Kutcher’s company A-Plus.

We explore how sam maintains his creativity, how he started his life as a freelancer, mistakes he has made and how to avoid them, and his method of keeping resolutions.
