I’ve always loved video games. I started with a Game Boy and a Nintendo 64 and have not stopped since. RPGs like Final Fantasy and The Elder Scrolls have been a favorite of mine. Seeing the worlds and mechanics introduced in these and other amazing games inspired me to understand and be part of the process in which they are created. I dreamed of seeing my name in the end credits of a game that brought enjoyment to others. After years of working in retail, I realized I would never achieve my dream if I didn’t take a leap. I enrolled in Full Sail University’s Game Design Bachelor's program and started my journey. My wife and daughter have motivated me throughout the process of getting my degree and I am eager to get into the industry and earn my place as an effective game designer.
