Bio

Born and raised in Tennessee, I went to Japan for a year as a foreign exchange student where I met my wife (who is from Oklahoma). We moved to Dallas almost 3 years ago so she could attend The Guildhall program at SMU. I quickly realized making games was way more fun than my programmer desk job, so after awhile I enrolled too.

Length of time I have been employed in the industry

Less than a year
