For a few years, I took a break from software development.I worked alongside a teacher in a special education classroom. The students in my classroom are nonverbal and had different forms of mental and physical handicaps. I aimed to get a better understanding about high school students, people with special needs and how our public education system functions as well as to find out how I might impact my community as best I can. I went on to help run an after school club for game development before ultimately returning to work as operations manager for #2bitENT, consulting for game/application development, interactive design, project management and marketing.

I started designing games for 2bit in 2010 after leaving Seamless Ent. and began organizing a small team of artists, programmers and designers. After working on several projects and prototypes and finally finding something which I thought was worth investing my full attention to, I left my position at Rocket Gaming. Officially starting 2bit Entertainment in July 2012 with a close colleague and a great deal of combined savings.Responsibilities■ Technical Design and Implementation■ Game Art Integration and Management■ Team & Project Management (Outsourced/Internal)■ Business Strategy and Management■ Frontend/GUI and Gameplay Programming■ Backend/Unity3D System Integration

Working as an assistant to repair and maintain different types of heavy equipment. From farming equipment to mining and electrical machinery, I aided a mechanic’s efforts in a part time capacity. From simple repairs like replacing parts to complex jobs like repairing hydraulic lines of all sorts and sizes. I worked to lay required tools out, lend a hand as needed during the job and clean up the work site after a job was completed. Working in the rain and snow and high heat for long hours and it was both a learning and exhausting experience which I wouldn't trade for the world.

Working 10-12 hour days 5-6 days a week, taking coal from different locations on the mine and driving and delivering it to the mine's wash plant.
