I have always wanted to be in the creative/ entertainment industry but when I got to college I want to do more with my illustrations and make Art for video games .

I've known since the age of 13 that I wanted to be involved with the 3D modeling and animation process. Seeing the emotional impact of an animation film stuck with me throughout my life and has kept me interested until this day.

I've always kind of known I would like to make something of my own one day, as I grew up playing video games and watching TV a lot. I owe a good part of my childhood to the entertainment industry and to countless creative individuals that made (and still are making) life less dull.

Sitting at lunch in 6th grade, I declared that I wanted to make games when I grew up. My friends all declared that my dream was too hard-- that everyone wanted to make games, so how could I ever hope to compete? My response: "Well I'm sure they hire the best person for the job, so I'll have to make myself the best!" Ever since then I've been working to make myself the best, because I know that's what it's going to take.

Junior year of high school I was astounded at the beautiful world of Skyrim. Ever since, I've wanted to create worlds that capture others like Skyrim captured me.
