Career
As an animator, Aubrey worked on many internet shows specially for the company Mondo Media. He was the creator, director and head writer of the popular internet cartoon The God & Devil Show.[1] There he worked with Kenn Navarro and Rhode Montijo on a short cartoon called Banjo Frenzy. The short then became the series Happy Tree Friends which became an internet phenomenon. In the show Aubrey voiced the characters of Pop and Flippy (mainly his evil side, but he also voiced his good side until 2005). The HTF Third Strike DVD shows that he also did the robot voice and what sounds like baby talk. According to writer Warren Graff, Aubrey has left Happy Tree Friends but they sample his voice rather than replacing him for the voices of Evil Flippy and Pop. He also did the voice of the Croc Hunter, Abe Lincoln and of Kathie Lee Gifford for The God & Devil Show.
As a graphic artist and animator he has worked for Microsoft, Macromedia, Disney, Warner Bros., BBC America and Cartoon Network. Aubrey used to live in the Bay Area with his two children, though they had grown up and he moved East to central Florida.
