I've been entranced with world of video games since I was a child. My small, young mind was blown when I was handed a device that actually control the characters and objects that were appearing on the screen. My mind was set, I would somehow turn this into my future(besides that small lived time where  I was set on being a plumber, which may or may not have been driven by the belief that they go on fantasy adventures not clean out and fix people's sewage problems). More than anything, I wanted to be able to bring my own creations to life and maybe be able to provide someone with that feeling of joy and escape that video games can provide. Pursuing a degree in game design at WVU has opened my eyes to all aspects that go into the process of creating something truly special. I've dabbled in all of these sections and found myself returning to the more artist and mechanical side of the process. What can I say, I like to create things!
