Like many game developers, my love of video games started at a very young age. The earliest game memory I can recall is enjoying the original Nibbles on an old DOS computer - back when floppy disks still existed, and were floppy.Around age eight, my interest in games developed into a desire to actually make content for them. This led me to build custom levels for games such as Wolfenstein 3d and the Marathon Trilogy.Eventually building the environments wasn't enough - I wanted to populate them with my own content. So, I started making custom sprite sets, textures, and physics settings. From there I moved on to 3D assets using Cinema 4D, which I learned in a Paradise High School computer graphics class.For a long time my development interests were focused mostly on the visual aspects of games, but eventually I was fortunate enough to attend an amazing Game Prototyping class taught by Josh Morgan at The Art Institute of CA - Los Angeles. The class was a basic introduction to game programming using Flash ActionScript 3.With my newfound talent for coding game logic and effects, I shifted my focus to development with Unity and began work on a team project called Lacuna, as Creator, Director, and Programmer.After leading the prototype development for several months, along with a variety of other art, design, and programming jobs, I took on the position of Lead Engineer at GameDesk, an innovative educational games studio aimed towards integration with The Dayton Regional STEM Center Guidelines.Since leaving GameDesk, I have been working as an independent contractor for various organizations. In my free time, I have also been building some of my own projects, like Reflector Labs and other prototypes not yet ready for the public eye.Specialties:Unity 3DC#JavaScript (UnityScript)PhotoshopIllustratorCinema 4DSubstance DesignerZBrushSculptrisCrazyBumpBitmap2MaterialxNormalDreamweaver
