Welcome

I am presently working as a game designer at Electronic Arts Los Angeles, working on a dark, mysterious project that is pretty darned cool.

In 2006, I graduated with a master's degree in Entertainment Technology from Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center in sunny Pittsburgh. While there I worked on interactive animatronics and experimental gameplay prototypes.

In 2004, I got my bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia, where I double-majored in Cognitive Science and Drama while picking up a minor in Computer Science. Wahoowa.

Originally my webspace was designed to promote myself, first to grad schools, than to internships, and then to jobs. Now that I am gainfully employed and don't anticipate seeking a new job in the near future, I'm left to figure out what to do next with this space.

It could turn into a blog of sorts, with me expounding my views on whatever game-relevant issues fancy me. The problem with something like that is that I'm sure I wouldn't be able to keep it up, and it would forever sit on the internet, mocking me with its "recent update" of three years previous.

It could simply be a public record of my work. The problem there is that the work I did in the past is not necessarily good, and my current work is not necessarily public.

It could be a place where I document my personal hobbies/projects for posterity. This would likely be boring for anyone who is not me.

Really, vanity spaces in general are pretty weak. And let's be honest, that's all this is. According to my server records, the overwhelmingly vast majority of people who come here are looking for information about Morning Coffee. If you're reading this front page, then, I assume you're at least moderately interested in learning more about me.

Therefore, the site is all of the above combined into one horrible, misbegotten mishmash of overweening self-congratulatory crap. If that sort of thing intrigues you, by all means, press on.
