Raised by my mother, I was introduced to the world of gaming at a young age, sparking a lifelong passion for interactive entertainment. From classic titles on the PlayStation One to modern masterpieces across multiple platforms, gaming has been a central part of my life and upbringing.

 

After joining the US Marine Corps, my journey into the world of game design continued. I utilized simulations and interactive training tools to enhance my skills as an Automotive Maintenance Technician, all while maintaining my love for gaming as a hobby.
