Living His Dream

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Hmm...tough question. Too difficult to actually list off everyone I would like to meet, historically and presently. Ask me later when I can think about this and also when I have time to answer.

Music:

Let's see. I have a really diverse taste when it comes to music. Rock, pop, swing, jazz, classical, or ska. Really I will listening to and enjoy almost anything aside from rap (never developed an ear for it...yet)Some of my favorite bands...hmm...Third Day, Geoff Moore, The OC Supertones, Newsboys, Rebecca St. James, and the list goes on.

Movies:

Lord of the Rings triology, Star Wars, Kingdom on Heaven, Braveheart, Troy, The Patriot, The Chronicles of Narnia (can't wait!), Batman Begins, Jurassic Park, all the Pixar films...to name a few.

Television:

CSI & Mythbusters all the way. Can't get enough of those two shows. But when those shows aren't on, my TV pretty much stays on Discovery Channel.

Books:

Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Star Wars (just started reading them), anything by Brock & Brodie Thoene, A Tale of Three Kings, anything by Frank Peretti (Though I must say I was not impressed with Monster).

It...is....Over....?

It is really hard to imagine it.  The cycle is finally over and Madden 08 is off to the presses.  The last few weeks have been absolutely crazy.  For those of you who have expressed con...

It's that time once again...

Hey guys, been a few months since I wrote a blog, so I figure I'll fill you all in on what's been up.  For the past week and a half I've been fighting the cold/bug that was going around.&nbs...

The changes a year can bring...

It is truly amazing the changes that a year can bring.  A year ago last Tuesday I received a phonecall that would change my life in dramatic ways which even now I'm still learning about.  A ...

And no sooner had the dust settled when...

Well, just when I got comfortable with the idea of working on the Wii and the other Current Gen consoles, my managers throw me a curveball.  I am no longer going to be developing for the Wii.&nbs...

Along came the Wii

For those who have not heard or I have not told, I have been moved from the 360/PS3 team onto the current gen consoles.  (X-Box/PS2/Wii)  At the moment we are only in pre-pro and I attended ...

When the Midnight oil has run out...

Well guys, the project is finally coming into the home stretch.  The past 4-5 weeks have been a complete and total blur to me.  I noticed the comments and questions as to how I am doing.&nbs...

Burning the Midnight Oil...

Ok, well maybe it isn't really midnight, but it sure feels like it.  In case you may have been wondering why I haven't blogged recently, I have been just slammed at work.  They reorganized t...

Boxes, boxes everywhere, and not a bed in which to sleep...

Ok, well maybe that last part of the title isn't true, but is sure feels like it.  I have spent the last week trying to unpack and settle into my new place.  And yet, after all that work it ...
