Bio

I breathe oxygen. I eat. Sometimes sleep. Bathe regularly. Fleshy to the touch... warm body temperature... humanoid. I am composed of mostly oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen calcium... and trace amounts of several radioactive elements.

I have a strong dislike of extreme heat and bright lights. Sensitive to all airborne allergens. I tend to avoid most public places and dislike large crowds. Usually mild tempered but have been known to explode violently.

Length of time I have been employed in the industry

3 years

Titles I have worked on

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Samba de Amigo, Borderlands, Aliens: Colonial Marines, and a few games I can't talk about yet.

Advice

Resources I would recommend for those interested in getting into game development (books, tutorials, sites, etc)

Learn everything you can and don't be afraid to ask questions.
