My Profile:

I graduated Cogswell Polytechnical College in 2005 with BA in game design. It was there I was introduced to the game design field through the Game Club. I worked on a few projects there where I learned the basics of asset creation, working within scope limitations, and working with a varied team of people.

After graduation I started Happy Fun Team, L.L.C. with three other fellow Cogswell students. Together we have been working the mobile field and our first published game will be available soon.

I have come to enjoy working in handheld and mobile. Here I get to utilize my 2D art and animation skills and continue to develop them in interesting ways. It is also refreshing to have the ability to work on a new project after four to six months. Recently I've been working on DS games for Wayforward Technologies.

I updated the resume and projects today. It's been so long since the last update I feel the previous news postings are pretty pointless.

That's right, it's an update. The "sketches" section is up in the gallery. Only three pieces are uploaded right now, but rest assured, more are on the way.

I think I know Pro Motion well enough to put it on my resume, so I did.

Some Justice League sprites were added from an exercise I did this week.

Today I added a resume to the home page in html and doc formats, slightly altered the look of the site, and trimmed the "Sprites" page.

10-03-2006
The basic version of the "Sprites" pages is now linked of the gallery portion of the site. The blank sections will be filled with animated gifs of some characters very soon. Things are starting to come together.

It's been pretty long since my last update, but today should mark some rapid progress. Screenshots have been added to the "Projects" page.

08-10-2006
The "Projects" section is layed out and a lot of the info is there. I also added a profile to your left and spent my afternoon scanning artwork. The gallery should be up in a basic form soon.

If you are here because of my Gamasutra resume, I'm very happy you have shown interest. You have also noticed there is no content at the moment. I will be working on filling out the site as the week progresses so feel free to e-mail me if you would like to see something sooner.
