CURRENT MISSION

To share experiences with interesting, positive, people who want to make the most of life. As an interactive designer, to make games that bring people together from all over the world in meaningful ways.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently interning at The Stupid Fun Club here in Berkeley, CA -- SFC is an entertainment think-tank that works on everything from games and toys to robots and television shows.

In general, I enjoy being around interesting, energetic, fun-loving people. I'm no stranger to moving out somewhere alone -- went to the University of Florida knowing 0 people, and made some of the most incredible friends there. I hope to do the same in California. I'm always down for a drink, to go dancing, or just doing something new on a whim.

In my work, I'm most interested in using interactive media to entertain the world while connecting people around the globe in new, meaningful ways. I get excited about using "play" as a natural, human language -- something that can connect us all despite our different languages, races, cultures, heritage.

PHILOSOPHY

Be selfless, be kind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eaten the freshest sushi, right off the boat, at 6am at the Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo, Japan. Right after its pulled in. It's still moving only seconds before eating it! You can taste the ocean.

Teach, Learn, Share

Game design, psychology, brotherhood, singing/harmony, art & design, and how to get free extra chips at Chipotle.
