I grew up in New Mexico, played tons of sports growing up, love ice hockey, and lived in Denver for 10 years.
I was apart of some of the best niche high tech software companies on the planet that served the worldwide gaming industry and film/VFX indtustries: Anark, Engenuity, and Scaleform, which in turn became Nvidia, CAE, and Autodesk.
What drove me in my job was credible passion for art & design and helping make things better for the end user & teams of creative people.
From there I was offered opportunities at some of the top video games companies in the world and decided to help 1 of the top 5 independent video game companies, Ready At Dawn Studios, commercialize their game engine. I still believe to this day they have one of the most compelling offerings as a commercial game engine that can not only serve the needs of artists and designers in games, but any artists and designers that require high performance real-time technology in nearly any industry.
Since then I continue to seek and learn!
