Summary:: I graduated from college in December of 1999 with a BFA in Studio Art, emphasis in Painting, and Minor in Theater. Shortly after graduation, I started teaching myself web design, but as I got more in to it found that it was a dead end goal, and decided to start looking to 3d theatrical and game design. I did so because it was a field that would allow me to use my drawing and painting skills as well as my lighting design skills, theatrical design skills, and playwriting skills.

I started learning 3d modelling and animation techniques on Caligari's trueSpace 3, then 4, and then 5.1. At the time that 5.2 came out, I was getting tired of the bugs in that application, so I decided to get Lightwave 7. I now use Lightwave 7.5 as my main 3d modelling program, but go back to trueSpace, and a large number of other "lesser" applications such as Blender, Wings 3d, and Realsoft now and then. As far as programming goes, I'm a self taught C++ programmer and Web Designer. I am in the process of learning a lot of different scripting languages like Python and Perl as well as full blown languages like Visual Basic that can help me out in game creation and animation.
