About Me

"Redlands traffic, One-Alpha-Charlie is clear of the active..." I work in the games industry. I am technical lead for a studio in Los Angeles. I just recently got my pilot's license. It is an incredible feeling to be a private pilot! I look forward to flying to many places in the near future. I will continue my flight training so that I can be instrument rated (which allows you to fly in clouds, etc..)You can view my profile on Moby Games by clicking the following link: Moby Games Profile
