I earned a Bachelor of Architecture from Kent State University in 1996. However, part-way through the Masters program, I realized that I wanted to be more involved with computers than a career in architecture would allow.
I began working at Hammond Communications Group
in Lexington, Kentucky. HCG is a video production
house which, at that time, featured a division
that produced 3D architectural animation. There
I modeled and animated building interiors and
exteriors for fund raising videos. Occasionally
I also got to work on some 3D animation or motion
graphics for a tv spot. Eventually, I moved into
HCG's 'new media' department where I led the development
of web site and multimedia projects.
My next opportunity came when internet startup eCampus.com asked me to be their Lead Multimedia Developer. There I created multimedia marketing presentations, web content, and games.
My next move was cross-continent when I began working for The Groove Alliance in Hollywood, CA. There I designed and programmed 3D web games using the 3D Groove engine.
Now I am self-employed, working as a freelance
game and multimedia developer. In the summer of
2005, I bid farewell to Los Angeles and relocated
to New York City. My new base of operations is
in the East Village of Manhattan.
