I have been interested in art and design for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a young child I have loved drawing characters, writing comics, and playing video games. I have always loved designing characters and creating lore and stories around them. I have also always had an interest in building things, from Lincoln Logs and LEGO as a kid to building video game environments now.

I have wanted to create video games since I was in high school. I have always been really into movies and video games, but these interests grew as I got older. I have seen nearly a thousand movies at this point and have over two hundred games in my Steam library. I love franchises such as Star Wars and Call of Duty. I also love independent games, and one such game is what made me interested in video game design. Subnautica is my favorite game of all time, and watching the development of its sequel is what made me want to do this job.

I currently attend the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and am taking courses to reach this goal. I am majoring in Computer Simulation and Gaming and minoring in Computer Science, Art, and Film Studies.
