I have lived most of my life overseas and was   born in an American compound in Saudi    Arabia.  As a result, I have traveled around    the world numerous times visiting family in    Japan and the USA.  While growing up I    loved reading fantasy novels, studying myths   and cosmological systems, and playing video   games, first on an old Apple II computer and   then later on other consoles.  My love of games, fantasy, myth and cosmological systems found expression in developing ‘mods’ for video games and I became passionate about becoming a game developer.  Fortunately, I discovered the Guildhall at SMU, was accepted into the Level Design Program and have received the best training possible.
