I've leveled up since joining SO. I went back to school, got a coding degree, and a certificate in Digital Forensics and Advanced Data Recovery. I now work as a Full Stack Web Developer and do side work with digital forensics.

(Previous write-up) I got into making video games because of my Mom. When I was a kid, she taught herself BASIC on our Commodore 64/128 and learned to make video games for me to play. I learned long ago that if she could do it, so could I. Mom's sadly no longer with me, but the desire to create games to brighten other people's lives is with me everyday. I also have been struggling to get on my feet as an artist in the game field since graduating from college. To serve society in both these vectors, I formed Ghost Pepper Interactive with my wife and a friend. We want to make cool games and provide jobs for others trying to get a start in the field.
