Previous Careers 

Before entering the gaming industry, I was part of the big tech boom working as a Web Designer and Information Architect for various companies.  In my early 20’s I was a professional musician, and I’ve had a very brief stint in FM radio (KRFX / KAZY / KBPI in Denver, Colorado) as an on-air talent and production specialist.

 

Education and Professional Development

I hold a degree in 3D Animation Graphics and Compositing.  Learning and self-education has been a life-long passion, and I have studied many design and artistic practices, including all aspects of design, human psychology, graphic design, color theory, music recording and performance, synthesizer programming, and drawing/painting.  

I have also had the good fortune to attend many training sessions on skills that enhance my natural leadership capabilities, including The Coaching Edge, Facilitative Leadership, Content Management Systems, Data Modeling, Project Management Training.
