When I was a child, I was always doing something creative. From making book covers to writing my own stories, and even making music, I did a lot. As I got a little older, I wanted to make animations for cartoons because I thought they were so cool! Now, I'm interested in creating characters and environments for video games.

Highschool after taking some Zbrush classes at a local college. Inspired me to learn 3D modeling skills and keep developing them. Focused on programs like Maya & 3ds in college.

I will never forget being six years old and seeing the human torch flame on for the first time in the original fantastic four movie. I literally ran up to my screen and immediately wanted to have that super power. Growing up, I always wanted to know how visual effects in movies were made, but I never got around to learning the programs until I started college. Ever since then, I have been trying to create any superpower I can imagine.

I originally wanted to be a sociologist. Although I love learning that subject, I enjoyed my experience in art class more. While finishing my undergrad in Graphic Design, I took a single elective in 3D modeling. I was instantly hooked on understanding the concepts and techniques used in 3D video games that I have always played. This connection confirmed my desire to work in the entertainment industry.

About when I was in high school. At that point, I realized I would actually be able to pursue this as a career.

I've wanted to make games since I first started playing on my PlayStation2. Even if I didn't know what I would be doing, I knew I wanted to help create games.

Viewing the movie 'Treasure Planet' during my youth ignited my imagination for boundless potential of worlds, each harboring their own unique environmental quality that could transport others into these realms; while Learning how to craft interactive games and environments has endured my passion for a creative journey within the realms of games and technology.
