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.

Basic Skills
Blender 2.5
C++
JavaScript
Practiced Skills
ActionScript 3.0
Drupal 6
Photoshop
PHP

Aspirations
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 gaming community called GetLives. GetLives is also my internet alias, so if the community thing doesn't work out, I can always use the site for my personal junk. I used the Drupal 6 framework to create the site's backend system. This portfolio is part of that system.

I'm also working on a few animations and games. Most of the animations are comedy-based. The games are all using ActionScript 3.0 and the Flash CS3 IDE.

Web Design

I have 3 examples available:

  1. GetLives
  2. Inspivia
  3. 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!
