Summary

Hello, welcome to my Art Station Portfolio! This page is a culmination of my best practices and personal work. My passion for the arts started at the age of 16 while writing for the Ballard Talisman in High school. During my time as a writer for the Ballard Talisman I had the opportunity to interview Gabe Newell about the then new release of Half-Life 2. After the eye opening experience at Valve, I took a detour and served in the United States Marine Corp. I graduated Marine Corp Recruit Depot San Diego in 2006 and served honorable till my contract concluded in 2010.

After earning an Honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corp I continued my passion for 3d art and game design. I completed my Associates of Fine Arts at Shoreline Community College in Seattle during 2013. After I worked odd jobs which ultimately were unsatisfactory to me. This pushed me to pursue a 4 year degree at DigiPen Institute of Technology, which heavily emphasizes game art and design.

Currently I am finishing my senior year at DigiPen Institute of Technology and I could not be happier. My artistic and technical skills have grown tremendously and I am eager to make my mark on the game art industry and beyond.

Thank you for viewing my art work!
