## Career information

Hotchens began his career in 2022. After hearing about Sintopia becoming a new televison channel for kids, he decides to sign up for Blanding Cassatt under a deal with Kimberly Blanding and Jordan Cassatt.

### ***Normandy***

Prior to the establishment and launching of Blanding Cassatt and Sintopia, Hotchens was planning to greenlight his very first own animated television series *Normandy* to Disney Channel in 2020. Due to the impact of COVID-19 global pandemic lockdown and the closure of Walt Disney Television Animation studios, Hotchens decided to greenlight *Normandy* to Nickelodeon. However, Nickelodeon passed the greenlight for the same reason. In 2021, Hotchens planned to greenlight *Normandy* to Cartoon Network but decided to wait for the pandemic to end since Hotchens thought that Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, and Nickelodeon would still reject his show.

In November 2021, Hotchens had decided to greenlight *Normandy* to Sintopia, a new channel for kids, since Sintopia's first animated series *Intertropolis & Routeville* premiered by Jordan Cassatt and Kimberly Blanding. Jordan Cassatt accepted his show *Normandy*.

Hotchens explained to Sintopia and announced that *Normandy* is about two foster siblings, a boy named Normandy Fugiskov, and a girl named Marietta Fugiskov, with their foster father and leader named Brandowski Tectonowvski as superheroes in a city in the Kamchatka Peninsula called Volchasky, which is in risk of crimes and supervillains and Normandy, Marietta, and Brandowski are always here to save the city's innocent citizens.
