About Me

Who am I? You sure you want to know?

I love computers, I love the outdoors and I love God. I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area and I love it there. Sometimes my life feels like an adventure, or like I'm a super hero in disguise. Other times it feels like I'm stuck in a desert with no one around. But I'm thankful that wherever I'm at, God reminds me that He is with me.

My dream is to someday create video games that are as fun and professional as Final Fantasy and Halo, but that honor God through engaging players in original, inspiring stories. I hope to create something that inspires gamers like C.S. Lewis touched readers with The Chronicles of Narnia.
