About Me

I was born and raised in Coquitlam, British Columbia, where my passion for game mechanics started at the young age of four with making silly, but functional, card games.

Fourteen years later I was in the Vancouver Film School Game Design program; Just two days after graduating from high school. VFS has rounded my understanding of game mechanics on top of being the main programmer on my final VFS project "Travis' Terror" I feel my understanding of games and how they are created has evolved greatly.

My personal life is all over the place. I am a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Doe and hold quite a few medals from tournaments over the years, this is something I am extremely proud of. It taught me a lot about discipline and I find myself using that knowledge in everyday life. I was also a Goaltender in Hockey for about 6 years, I ride my bike often, and also enjoy almost every sport you put in front of me. On top of all this, I love all things related to Computers, and both PC and Console gaming.
