1. How old are you? I'm the good ol' age of 21.
2. Where are you from originally? Well, I'm actually a Yankee. I was born
in New York, and lived in Berre for a few years.
3. Where do you currently live? These days I live in Cambridge, Minn.
4. Do you have bro's or sis's? How many, and their ages please? Ben is my older brother, and only brother thankfully. He is 25 right now, so he has
a few years on me. I don't have any other siblings besides him.
5. What school are you attending? Right now I'm going to the local college here, Anoka Ramsey Community College.
6. Whats your major? If you haven't chosen one what are you aspiring to
be? Actually, I can't really decide what I want to be. There are so many
options out there, and I enjoy way too many of them. I think I've
narrowed it down to game design, for now at least.
7. Why did you choose this field? Well the reason behind being a game
designer is really simple. I enjoy games. Everything from Zelda, Mario,
Final Fantasy to World of Warcraft and Doom. Heck, even Tetris can keep
me entertained for hours. Thanks to my brother I've been hooked on them
since I was a kid.
As being a gamer, you really get blown away by the story lines, graphics,
content, and just the actual game play. There are times though where you're
playing a game, and you just want to face-palm. The way certain areas or
encounters are designed, they are just either extremely stupid, and you
begin to wonder who the heck thought this was a great idea, and other times
they are just soooooo hard that you find yourself nerd raging at your
TV/computer.
So, after times like that you just feel like you could have done a better
job. That was what kind of led me to this career path. While playing a game
I always have these ideas pop into my head about what should have happened,
or what they could have done to make an event better ect. I get all these
thoughts on how something should look, or if they just adjusted this and
tweaked that the game would be a lot cooler. Now if I was in a position to
actually put these ideas into effect, they'd hold a lot more meaning than
just conversation with my gamer friends. It would be amazing to see my own
ideas and designs in a popular video game. I could point something out and
be like, I designed that. Not to mention I'd have a blast having a career
in game design.
8. Are you a first generation college student? If not, what degrees do your
parents hold? Nope, everyone in my family has been to college. My parents both have bachelor degrees.
9. Where do you work? Uhh, I work at Papa Murphys. It's a pizza place.
Not exactly something I'm proud of, or plan to do for the rest of my
life, but money is money in this tight economy. Something has to pay for
my college degree. Plus, free pizza now and then doesn't hurt.
10. What are your hobbies? Obviously video games are one of my
past-times. So as gamers would say, "pwning noobs". I also am trying to
learn how to play the guitar. I'm pretty awful I admit though. Also, I
draw/paint when I have the supplies and inspiration. Paintball is another
thing I do with friends. I'm not sure if concerts count, but usually when
there is a good band who comes to the cities, me and my friends will go
see them play.
11. What gives you joy in life? There are a lot of things in life that
bring me joy. Little things like how the air smells after a rainstorm or
cutting grass, running into an old friend you haven't seen in awhile,
having a great conversation with a stranger, and just feeling alive makes
me happy. Of course like anyone else, friends and family are a big part
of the joy in my life. But, it's always the little things that add up to
a great day.
12. Is there anything particular you would like readers of this story to
know? Not really, I'm sure whatever you write will be great.
