What if the lowest point in your journey revealed the path to your highest purpose?

Dave Warren’s story from aspiring rock star to Emmy-winning animation artist and creative director is anything but ordinary.

After chasing music dreams to California in a Monte Carlo packed with guitars, he found himself navigating unexpected detours—from cartooning to animating some of the most iconic shows of the ’90s like The Simpsons, Sons of Anarchy, Pinky and the Brain, and The Minions.  

But behind the career highlights is a deeper story of humility, identity, and rediscovery. 

After rising through the ranks and eventually facing a hard fall from the corporate world as a Creative Director, Dave learned that what you do isn’t who you are.

Now, he’s reconnecting with his creative roots—on his own terms—and showing up with radical authenticity.
