After a number of different jobs and several different paths, it wasn't until I joined the gaming industry that I found work that I truly enjoy. I grew up with computers, starting with an IBM TRS-80 Model 3 when I was a child. Anyone who can remember a "system" like that has no trouble appreciating just how far computers have come since that time. Today's software and hardware have far surpassed my expectations, and I plan on being a part of that progress in the years to come. The end result to years of what were once just hobbies and part-time jobs through college have provided a well-rounded education I've managed to apply well to today's workplace.

      Several years in the newspaper industry and other fields prior to this allowed me to see the old ways of doing business on the decline. I personally feel that many companies are still in the “digital dark ages” when it comes to today’s consumers, and continue to struggle with the rapidly changing interactive media that have taken center stage.
