My passion for the Arts started at the age of 16 while writing for the Ballard Talisman in High school. After an interview with Gabe Newell for Half Life 2, at Valve Studios in Bellevue, I was left with an overwhelming feeling of how amazing Game Art could be as a Career. That being said, I took a detour and fine tuned myself. I graduated Marine Corp Recruit Depot in 2006 and redirected my attention to the service of the United States Marine Corp.After earning an Honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corp in 2010. I continued my passion for 3d art and game design.I completed my Associates of Fine arts at Shoreline Community College in Seattle, in 2012, after I worked odd jobs which pushed me to pursue a 4 year degree at Digipen, that heavily emphasized game art and design.Now I am approaching my Final year at Digipen Institute of Technology and I can't be happier. My skills have grown tremendously and I am eager to make my mark on the Game Art world and beyond.Software History:3ds max 5 to 3ds max 2016, Maya 2016, basic Python scripting, Photoshop, Ndo, Ddo, Substance 2, Marmoset 2, Zbrush, UDK 4, Unity.Accomplishments:Completed Student Game Dragon Fishing: 3rd Place Visual Arts 2D Games, appearing at PAX.Completed Student Game Bittorio: 3d action puzzle, appearing at PAX .
