I was born in Rochester, New York, on May 1,1987. I have one younger brother and one younger
sister. We got our first family computer when I was 8 years old, it was a Packard Bell 95.
My first game was Spidermans Cartoon Workshop, I was hooked, I mean come on, look at those sweet graphics.
When I was 12, my uncle gave me my first online game, Quake 3. This game was undeniably violent
and my mother was not pleased about it. However, I was allowed to play this game and I sunk 100s of
hours into this game. I played Quake 3 on a regular basis until I was 17.
When I turned 18 I went to Florida to work for Disney world, I got sick, went to the hospital, almost died
and was given World of Warcraft as a gift to help pass the time at my grandmas while I was recovering.
That was the beginning of the best and the worst times of my life. I have been playing WoW ever since. I have
EASILY over 700Played DAYS on the game.
I however served in the military between then and now though. I deployed, I was shot at a few times, I shot back
a few times, and I received my Combat Action Badge as well as 60% disability rating. This ended my career in the military.
So, I decided to go to school... At first I went to school for administrative professional, but the work was too easy,
I wanted more challenge than what I was getting. I also was not happy with my choice and had done this more or less to
appease my parents. I eventually had a breaking point and said F** this, and changed my major to Game Development. I have
not looked back since and have had no regrets. I have wonderful teachers, have made great friends, and have learned more this
semester that was challenging and fulfilling, than the year I was seeking another degree path.
