Anything that involves playing in water.

I’m a caffeine-based lifeform and game developer living in Southern California. I like to make entertaining and creative games, regardless of genre or platform (console, handheld, mobile, or 9¾).

Back in April 2005 I was introduced to a recently released MMORPG that would effectively change the course of my life. While that statement sounds more than a little irrational and while it took almost five years for that ship that is my life to make a course change, it couldn’t be truer.

After being a psychology major and spending nearly two and a half years working in the mental healthcare field and countless conversations with myself, I started down my journey that transitioned me from being simply an appreciator of video games to wanting to develop them.
