I've always wanted to work with art, even as a child. Traditional at first but as I fell more in love with computers and they became better suited for creative means, I found I wanted more practical uses for art. Went to college, took my first steps there reinforced my decisions and fueling the fire in my heart even more. This is my passion and I don't want to just work in the industry, I want to live it.

I grew up on shows like ReBoot, Transformers: Beast Wars, and fell in love with the Eye Drops series on Tech TV. I also grew up on 3D video games. Specifically, as I was playing Final Fantasy VIII, I realized that I wanted to work in video games. Or at least I thought I did. I knew I wanted to work in 3D. I didn't care what it was, whether it was games, movies, or on TV animated shows.

I've always felt like I belonged in the art and video game industry, but once I realized it was something I could pursue as a career, I hopped on right away.
