David Pietricola grew up in Grand Isle Vermont on a strict diet of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers.

His life-long love of Muppets led to his BA at Syracuse University for Digital Art, and his subsequent MFA at Pratt Institute where his graduate thesis received Second Place in the Conceptual Animation Time Space category at Siggraph 2010.

David is a CG Supervisor and Rigging Technical Director at Zero VFX in Boston for shows such as Challengers, Gran Turismo, and The Instigators. You can also find his work in Spirited, Uncharted, Ghostbusters, Creed II, and Equalizer 2.

He currently lives in Vermont with his wife Erica, their daughter Mabel, their dog Fergus, and hopes to someday participate in The Great Migration to Mars and resulting Great Why-Did-We-Migrate-to-Mars Uprising.
