About Me

I'm an artist first and a programmer second. I see an importance for art in my life, and I love to draw, but it doesn't pay the bills, so I code.

Drupal
I think what makes me stand out in the mist of web designers is my knowledge of Drupal. It can save me time and save you money. I have transferred an entire site to Drupal 6 (design and data) and switched their host twice. I also built a magazine style networking site with Drupal, and I built this portfolio site with it, as well.

Aspirations
I have goals and dreams, like anyone else. My ultimate goal is to make enough money to support a family of my own. That out of the way, my dreams are far more unrealistic. I wish to be a professional game programmer, 3d artist, comic artist, animator, or all of the above!

Hobbies
I grew up playing video games, and that's still something I do on rare occasion, however, I tend to spend most of my free time working on personal projects or watching television.

Personal Projects
I'm working on a Flash-powered 2-player game. I downloaded Unity again, since it's free now. I want to get started with 3d programming soon.

Web Design

I have two references:

  1. Inspivia
  2. Pat Flynn Music

Game Development

I have performed many contract jobs to create Flash games. I have experience making many quizzes for educational purposes, and I have created a few hobbyist games. Check the "My Games" gallery for some examples of my work.

Animation

I'm only a hobbyist, but if you like my style, I would love to hear about a job!
