I was born and raised in the wonderful town of Eagle Creek and have lived here for my whole life of 26 years. I spend most of my time attempting to satisfy my curiosities of the world relating to all aspects of primarily art and science, hiking, as well as spending time with family including my canine companion. Values in life that are important to me are primarily curiosity, humor, kindness and passion, and speaking of passion well, videogame design is my number 1. Growing up I steadily changed from primarily enjoying games to wanting to understand what made this medium so enthralling and established the desire to be a part of the process. Games to me provide so many purposes including challenge, pride, social interaction, escape, and best of all powerful storytelling and world building. No other medium can bring environments, characters, and concepts to life like video games can. I hope to have the opportunity to spend my career assisting teams of likeminded individuals in creating an original and memorable digital experience. So here I am pursuing a career in videogame design and look forward to any opportunity to help develop the next game world.
