As a poultry science major at Texas A&M University, I learned a valued skill set that would keep me employed for the rest of my life, but I wasn't passionate about it. I spent some time in the working world, and then made a ten-year plan to allow me to follow my passion. The culmination of that plan was to return to school to learn game design at Austin Community College. I have loved design since I was a kid, and I have been fascinated by the freedom to create virtual worlds in a computer.
