About Me

I'm a level designer at Treyarch. I make video games for a living so expect my nerdiness to show a bit. Contact me if you want to compare Guitar Hero scores or talk in ones and zeros.

I'm from the south, but don't talk slow, listen to country music or know how to ride a horse. Okay, that last one is a lie, but I'm not proud of it. I've been in LA for almost 3 years. I run a lot, but not necessarily just to stay in shape, but because I love the feeling. I surf every weekend and don't know how I went 25 years of my life without doing it. I'm a workaholic, and because of that I don't know many people outside of work.
All in all, I love my life here. I just wish the ocean was cleaner.

My Interests

Music - Progressive rock, drumming. Running! Surfing! Video Games - I'm not ashamed.

I'd like to meet:

You think Natalie Portman is on here? Even if she was, what would I say?! "Hey, you're pretty. Do you like Xbox?" I bet she doesn't.

Past projects:

Call of Duty 2: Big Red One

Call of Duty 3

Music:

Tool, A Perfect Circle, The Mars Volta, Nine Inch Nails, Thursday, Radiohead, Our Lady Peace, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, STP, Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, System of a Down, etc., etc.Anything that rocks my face.

Movies:

300, the baddest movie ever. The Matrix movies! A few favorites that I can think of off the top of my head: King Kong, Jurrasic Park (the first one), Garden State, Spider Man, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fight Club and just about anything by Tim Burton. I love movies.

Television:

I pine night and day for new episodes of LOST. Also, Prison Break, Heroes and Rome are da bomb. Those are the only things I watch on TV.

Books:

What are these words you speak of? I think I've seen some of them on the internet.

Heroes:

Maynard James Keenan. Danny Carey. Jon Theodore.
