Bio: Since an early age I’ve loved drawing, sculpting, painting—anything visually creative. Growing up a part of the high-tech generation, I was first introduced to the world of computers with an old Radio Shack TRS-80, which I quickly upgraded to a Commodore 64. With my first PC, a 386 clone, I became acquainted with a nifty graphics program called “Deluxe Paint” and found myself hooked on computer generated graphics and design. What started out as a hobby designing graphics for old side scroller games (side view moving games similar to Super Mario) and then various pieces for local dial-up BBS’s, has naturally evolved into a career in print media and web design.

Software: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premier, Adobe Encore, Flash, Photoshop, currently studying Maya.

Hardware: 6 years experience in hardware, everything from user end workstations to high end network mainframes.

Music: Our Lady Peace, Me First & the Gimmie Gimmies, & more.

Books: Shogun

Passions: Art, Design, Game concept & design

Pastimes: Drawing, Photo-manipulations, Movies, Cartoons, Gaming

Current Personal Goals: Learn Maya, PHP and get into game design.

Favorite quote: “Laughter and prozac keep me sane… The killing is just for giggles.”
