This site acts mostly as my digital portfolio and resume, but at the same time, I want to convey myself beyond a sheet of paper with a list of companies and dates. Hopefully, I'll make some laughs and even maybe, some connections. Above all, enjoy your visit and thanks for your interest.

As a designer and longtime player, I have a strong interest in 'classic' style gameplay, where fun mechanics and low learning curves are keys to accessibility and enjoyment by a mass audience. I apply the "less is more" mentality to design, proving that simplicity and depth can work together. I strive to provide each custom tailored game experience with varying levels of rewards, from in-game rewards like currency to intrinsic values that can improve a person's attitude and perspective, in order to encourage player engagement. Always on the lookout for new forms of creativity, I find new inspiration and perspectives through my experiences in and out of the workplace.

Currently, I am 27 with a long-term girlfriend of 6 years, a short-term goal of losing weight, and an immediate goal of eating lunch. By day, I take on the role of a lowly, mild-mannered raving lunatic working under a giant conglomerate. By night, a wandering free spirit that sits in traffic. Between work, dinner, Ninja Warrior, and potty breaks, my inner child reads Calvin and Hobbes and gets beat at Street Fighter 2 Turbo.
