My passion for gaming lies in the actual construction of playable worlds.  Creating a fun and immersive environment for the player is what I enjoy the most.  There is nothing more rewarding than someone telling you how much fun they had while playing your level or how they will always remember a specific scripted event that happened while playing it.

In 2003, I graduated from Amherst College with a BA in Computer Science.  In 2004, I enrolled in the Level Design curriculum at the Guildhall at Southern Methodist University.  It's been a real privilege to learn from industry professionals here at the Guildhall who have devoted their time to teach the students all they know: from art/level/programming design to the game industry and how it works.

Recently, I was the Game Designer of our five-month project,  Eclipse - a total conversion of Valve's Half Life 2.  I graduated from the Guildhall on June 18, 2005 with a professional certification in level design.
