About Me

Growing up in central Illinois, my competitive spirit, fueled by a love for sports, found a new outlet in video games and level design. Beginning with Halo: Reach's Forge mode and later Minecraft, I honed my skills creating intricate environments and collaborating with others that I met along the way on commissioned projects.

Joining Gamemode One at its inception, I've spent the past six years evolving from an Environment Artist to my current role as Game Director. This journey has allowed me to fulfill my passion for crafting immersive player experiences, a passion I continue to cultivate in leading our creative vision.
