Trivia

Trivia[]

  • He was originally invited on the show to help the Hageman Brothers, who he was already friends with.[3]
  • When asked about his favorite season, he stated, "That’s a tough question. There are elements in every season that I’m proud of, but I am particularly proud of Master of the Mountain and Seabound. I also loved writing the final episode of the Ice Chapter. Hm… tough question."[4] He also stated there is "a lot of fun stuff in the current season though I can’t discuss."[5] Of the pre-WildBrain seasons, "Hunted was a blast" and "a fun season to write", while of the seasons before he worked on the show, he particularly enjoyed Tournament of Elements.[6]
  • When asked about his favorite elemental power, he said, "If I was a Ninja, I would want Nya’s power, because I love water. But it’s also one of the most powerful forces, so I’d be a little nervous about it."[7]
