I am a recent graduate from The Art Institute of Phoenix with a BA Game Art & Design. I recently relocated back into the triangle area and was looking to jump right into the Dev Scene here.

Computer professional for many years starting as a programmer in C and i86 Assembly Language in the area of Telecommunications. I moved into the QA field in 1998 and tested software for SkyConnect NCube, Oracle, Sybase, IBM and more. Throughout my entire computer career, games were always there, taking away the stress and strain of the every day grind. When the opportunity presented itself for me to go back to school, I decided to take something fun, interesting, and creative so I enrolled in the Game Design and Development course at Arapahoe Community College. Although I am just getting started in Game Development, much of what I have seen is similar if not identical to all other software development. A loop is a loop, regardless of which language it is written in and Software is Software, no matter who or what it's purpose.
