Greetings, if you're here well let me tell you, your one lucky individual, for you have come across the page of one of the single most outstanding persons you will probably ever have the chance of meeting in the entirety of you life. As true as that isn't or maybe is, welcome to this page. I'll probably be using myspace for networking and keeping in touch with some good friends and making new ones. Also I hope to use it to display my art and animation. Be sure to check out my videos, pictures, and blog. I have much of my work uploaded on here.
I am probably not your typical guy, first and foremost I'm a Christian. I have submitted myself to God, and trust in Jesus Christ for my salvation. I have joy, peace and love in my life which can only be truly experienced through a relationship with Christ and by living a life according to God's will. Nothing of this world even compares. If you don't have this and want it ask me about it I'd love to help you.
With God being the center of who I am here is the rest. I'm very easy going and really don't take myself to seriously. I'm pretty geeky. I enjoy laughing and especially making others laugh even if I have to make fun of myself. I'm pretty courteous and try my best to be a gentleman, though it might be lost sometimes with my barrages of sarcasm. I enjoy working with kids and young adults and really have a knack for it. I've worked for the past two summer as a counselor for a week long Bible camp out in the Black Hills. I've worked with boys ranging from 4-6th. God blessed me in those experiences.
Well I've done three years of college, two were toward graphic design, I did that at Dakota State University in South Dakota. The other was toward DMA: animation, I transfered to Huntington University in Indiana for that. I didn't go back there last year but continued pursuit of animation through Animation Mentor, but the Lord has led back to DSU. I'm was going to double majoring in Digital Storytelling and Production Animation but am dropping the Storytelling mainly because the the program for it is awful and the faculty in charge were a bit lacking. So now I'm just focusing on Production Animation and will be done in just three more semesters. Hey!!! But at the end of the last semester I've completed enough courses to earn a minor in Graphic Design... Finally making some headway at least. Haha :P Yeah I'll be a jack of all trades by the time I'm done I guess.
As for what I enjoy... well there quite a bit but I'll touch on my main passions, art, storytelling, and gaming. I'm a creative person and am blessed with artistic ability. I draw, paint a bit, and sketch, I use both traditional mediums and also computer applications. Right now I'm mainly drawing and working with 3D. I also love storytelling, reading, writing, watching, and listening. I am pursuing 3D animation as my means of storytelling currently, though it may turn out differently in the end. I said that because I also enjoy video games, and wouldn't mind ending up in this industry either with my animation training. I own an Xbox 360 and PS2 currently, I did have a Wii, it was stolen along with tons of my dvd's and games, Oh well. I also enjoy hiking and fishing, though haven't had to many opportunities this summer :( I definitely not a sports nut, and most people can't understand my general disinterest in them. Though I do enjoy watching a game now and then, mainly college, and going to one is fun too now and then. :P Finally I enjoy hanging out my family, especially my little nephew... for some reason the kid really like me, this puzzles me... but I guess he is just a weird as me.

Next I'm working on the first bit of my story. It will be a fantasy story with swordplay, magic, and the like. I plan to deal with one of the main characters in an interesting way. I've post two small bits of writing that might go into it in my blog, scraps 1 and 2.
