About Me

I am an independent game developer and graduate of Indiana University's Computer Science and Game Design programs. I am also a co-founder of the indie game development team Drillbit Studios.

I've wanted to be a game developer ever since I first found out it was a real job. When other kids wanted to play games, I wanted to make them. In order to make this dream a reality, I learned how to code and I got to work. Now, I have experience with a variety of game engines, programming languages, and development disciplines.
