Bio
I’m lucky to have the opportunity to build a career by doing what I love. From a young age, I've been infatuated with video games and the entertainment they provide for people. My closest relationships have all been formed over a love of shared experience through video games. With big dreams in my mind and with the support of my wife and family, I decided to pursue my dream and make it happen.
Throughout the years before I started classes, I'd spent time learning about video game design and development, such as what it takes to make games and what makes good games great. I'd spent my free time experimenting with Unity and Unreal Engine and learning to program in C++ and C#, while also exploring some more theoretical fields of game design like AI development and level design from online resources like YouTube and game design blogs.
​
After enrolling in school, I was primarily focused on Unity and C# programming as technical skills but was also taught design skills like character design, level design, 3D modelling in 3Ds Max and Blender, art and drawing, and music theory for games. I graduated from Guilford Technical Community College in the Spring of 2023 with a 3.88 GPA making the dean and president's list.
