I am a code warrior with a designers eye. Artistic techie or tech savvy artist? I`m still not really sure, but by eight years old I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life: make video games and compose rock & roll soundtracks for them. I began programming at 14 and I`ve never stopped. I love the craft. It`s an art. It`s a science. It`s a mountain who`s peak I`ll never reach. When we were kids, grown ups had such contempt for things like Nintendo. They saw blocks and dots, heard bleeps and bloops. I saw myself re-manifested as a hero, a warrior, a pilot, a thief, a boy, a girl, an adventurer with no limits, no fear of death, three save slots, and a reset button. I listened to the genesis of electronic music and hummed along. I knew that games would one day rival (and possibly even surpass) film as one of the greatest collaborative art forms of our civilization. I`m never gonna cure cancer or win the Super Bowl - but I can build compelling experiences, worlds and galaxies, molecules and microbes, dragons and ghosts: out of mere words and symbols, numbers and letters, bits and .bmps. It`s magic. It`s science. It`s my life. It`s programming.
