About Me

I most recently got my dream job in the video game industry at an amazing company called High Voltage Software. I got employed even before I officially graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Game Art and Design... and I graduated with a 3.8! I think that means I've found my niche. My life is heading in a wonderful direction filled with creative work that I'll be paid to do (and paid very well!). I'm so exited, and I've been on cloud nine since I got hired... and I don't think I'll be coming down any time soon. Unfortunately, as a result of the game industry being very deadline intensive, I may not be able to respond to messages very quickly. In fact, I'd say good luck getting in contact with me if you aren't already there (or have been at some point in my past).

Here's something I did many years ago for a Premiere project. Long live Resident Evil! Or would that be long live the undead?

Either way... Enjoy!

My Interests

A multitude of things... If you are't familiar with my interests, then you probably don't know me. Mainly game industry stuff at present, but I've got quite a few other interests in my life as well.

I'd like to meet:

The people I already know, those who prove themselves worthy of what little time I have (and aren't fake profiles/people just looking to have me added), or those who could help me in my present career as a game designer and artist. So if you want to add me as a friend, I'd like to get to know you a bit first to understand why you want me on your friend's list. Send me an e-mail to get things rolling. I'm short on time (as previously mentioned), but I'll definitely get to your e-mail eventually.

Don't try to add me without first contacting me. If you do, I'll more than likely deny your request. If you're just a porn site or someone looking to add another number to their friend's list, don't even try.

Music:

Fine... Since I've had one too many idiots who only search for words listed in music and try to be added as a friend... I won't even list the types of music I don't like. Try and spam add me now! :P

Movies:

Edward Scissorhands; Girl, Interupted; Powder; Vampire Hunter D (both of the movies); and a lot of others.

Television:

Well I guess I'd put Hellsing as a TV series, Heroes is pretty cool, and Lost is neat. I could really live without TV if I had to, though.

Books:

the Bible and a few other choice selections. I have Dyslexia so I don't read all that much.

Heroes:

my mom
