I’ve been

a Gamer

since I

was

three ,

but…

there was

always a

downside

to Video

Games

…

creatively

driven

Schooling

From private

schooling at

TCA to…

http://www.trinityoxford.org/index.html

…Game Dev

training at Full Sail,

I’ve been instructed

in how to conduct

myself like a

professional for 20+

years http://www.flickr.com/photos/31426352@N07/2945341284

Valedictorian c/o 2012

National Network of

Friends

One in almost all 50 states (sorry West Virginia and Utah…I

tried)


These three factors are

what led me here today

and I could NOT be who I

am without them,

especially my friends who

have supported me all the

way in my Game Dev

Career

Now on to what makes me

ME


Strengths:

Honesty

My parents

have raised

me to tell the

truth (they

would’ve

probably

killed me for

lying :D), and

it’s a value

that I will

stand by to

this day.


Strengths:

Trust

With honesty

being one of

my big

viewpoints, I

trust that

other people

will in turn

show me that

same

respect. I

trust others

judgment

and value

their

criticism.

Strengths:

Teamwork

I work best

with a team

because I

know I make

mistakes

and with a

team I

always know

that someone

has my back

and is ready

to catch me

when I fall. I

in turn will

do the same

for them

Strengths:

Creativity

I see

creativity as

a way to have

fun and

relax. I can

do this with

Video

Games, with

Minecraft

being one of

my more

prominent

outlets

recently.


Weaknesses:

Public

Speaking

Lets face it,

I’m a terrible

public

speaker.

Even the

thought of

giving a

speech

freaks me

out, but this

is something

that I have to

overcome

and I’m

working on

it.


Weaknesses:

My Vision

This one is

quite literal.

As of 2014

My vision

dropped

significantly

to a point

where I’m

having to get

a surgery to

fix it.

Hopefully

this

weakness is

only a minor

speed bump,

but we’ll see.


But that enough

about that, now on

to what I’ve done

so far and what I

aim to do in the

future

Experiences

I got to work

on a team of 4

named

Lightning

Wolf Studios

for two

months and

together we

made…


Experiences

…Time Gate

scrolling

puzzle

platformer in

which you can

manipulate

time to get

past various

obstacles as

you travel

through time

yourself

Personal

Projects

Navigable 3D Solar System With a Twist


My

dream

is to one

day

work at

PopCap

Games

http:// http://www.flickr.com/photos/54095611@N02/11071035593

There

I would

be able to

get my

foot in the

door with

both

console

and

mobile

development

while

getting to

work with

one of my

favorite

dev

companies





I’m currently building up my portfolio at

Full Sail University,

but watch out PopCap (or other potential

employer :D), you’ll be hearing from me

soon!
