Bio.

I've always spent a lot of time on the computer... from playing games using MSDOS, to programming HTML, and now portraying concepts with art and design in the business world. I've now graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh with a bachelor's degree in graphic design.

When I'm not working on the computer, you can find me cruising the streets in my DeLorean, collecting 80s memorabilia, or enjoying any sci-fi related entertainment.
