Thanks for reading! I joined the games industry in 2011 after serving in the Canadian forces. I have a passion for building things, and have primarily spent my time as a Level or Technical Game Designer. I have experience building out worlds, missions or spaces for the player to explore and enjoy crafting beautiful spaces, and rewarding the players time. When I’m not building things, I’m usually hanging out with my dog learning new tricks or looking for neat things to capture with the camera.
