Biography

Born and raised in a military family I have seen and done many things that people only can experience at home on television. I became interested in games at a young age. Having no other source of entertainment I quickly fell in love with board games and movies. Clint Eastwood, Master Chief, and Mitchell Paige were my heroes. Along with risk, chess, strategy, settlers of catan, and many others, strategy became a way for me and my family to pass the time when we weren’t traveling out in some foreign land.

My grand father taught me to draw at the age of seven and from then on I drew everything. I loved the to create characters and then build there world out of legos. I wasn’t allowed to have a video game system till I was 18 but that didn’t prevent me from spending as much time as I could on my friends playstation. I finally realized that I was a talented artist after several close friends and relatives suggested that I take up art as a career. I was eager to do anything to avoid working a meaningless business job. I made the switch to art and start my studies in America. I am now studying studio art at Chico State University and am excited about what the future holds.
