About Me

A software developer by day, I'm also living my dream of building video games by night.

History

My first gaming experiences were on a Nintendo Entertainment System and an Amiga 500. I've always enjoyed designing and creating things, dealing with technical details, and creating music. I found that all of those technical and creative passions can be satisfied when I create video games...and so that's what I do.

I fell in love with software development by my first college class, where I won several awards for some of my programs. 3D modeling and animation was another exciting focus for me during the college years. My first projects were done by manipulating polygons in OpenGL and C++ vertex-by-vertex, and included a 3D Pac-man-like game that had two levels, multiplayer gameplay, elements from Bomberman, maze and character creation tools, and even optional first-person gameplay. Next steps were DigiPen classes and XNA. Once I learned about Unreal and Unity, though, things really began taking off: StickType rose from a simple stick-figure prototype game to become a fully-fledged game accepted and published via ID@Xbox to PCs and Xbox consoles. Next up is ZombMe, which is under construction and has already been accepted to ID@Xbox.
