Ever since age 5 with the NES, playing games has been an entertaining hobby, a way to kick back and relax, and a means to explore and experience creativity. But beyond simply playing and consuming games, I came to admire the artistry, meticulous planning, and digital carpentry that went into making the games I love. I strove to bridge purposeful work with my love of games, and today I am proud to be a maker of games and interactive media that educates, engages and inspires. Appreciative and nostalgic for the 8 & 16 bit classics I grew up with; I hope to continue creating games that I can one day share with my children.
