WHO I AM:
MOUNTAIN EXPLORER
I am a keen hiker who loves to conquer mountains—taking photos along the way—and apparently has an obsession with waterfalls. I enjoy leading groups on adventures going on hikes and exploring beautiful places.

BATTLE HARDENED GAMER
Team-carrying soldier, story completionist, couch co-oper, indie connoisseur, and serious boardgamer. Grew up playing with my two brothers starting with the Nintendo 64's classics and have been following this exciting industry ever since.
FRIENDLY PEOPLE PERSON
The most important thing in any work environment is its people. Building relationships creates a positive work environment while encouraging a better collaboration of skills. Having been a part of several families of friends, I strive to create an inviting environment wherever I go.
I LOVE SCHOOL! IN OR OUT OF IT, I'M ALWAYS LEARNING.
EDUCATION
ACADEMY OF ART UNIVERSITY
2017—Expected Spring 2018
Working on my Master's Degree at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco! —where I'm learning the skills I need to pursue my longtime dream of becoming an Environment Concept Artist in the game industry.
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY: SACRAMENTO
2013—2016 | Bachelors in Graphic Design
I was 1 of 40 people selected to go through the gruelling design program at California State University Sacramento—one of the most highly sought after graphic design programs in California—surviving through to graduation in Spring 2016.
I TAKE PRIDE IN BEING HUMBLE, HONEST, AND HARDWORKING.
