Hey, I've been an avid gamer all my life and am currently trying to get my credentials together to register for a game development program at a local college.

Long story short, got a degree in music and psych, wound up at a completely unrelated job and have decided to take a shot at making games. Been in love with games since playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on my Dad's Commodore 64.

I do a lot of writing and design, played bass and did some backup vocals in a working band (meaning we made money... sometimes) for a few years. I handled some songwriting and most of the graphic design (Photoshop).

I've got some basic Linux programming knowledge from work but nothing past that really. Looking forward to talking to everyone.
