Ken C. Tyner is a structural designer by day and an animator by night. He was born in New Jersey in 1993, but was raised for most of his life in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. From an early age, he was always interested in stop motion after being entranced by the amazing worlds of "Wallace and Gromit" and "Chicken Run." Being practical, he pursued a mechanical engineering degree at West Virginia University. After receiving his Bachelor of Science, he moved back home and found work in the local area. He plans to make a positive impact on the world around him through his current place in the construction industry and of course through his art.
