Other Things
Favorite Things: I love good stories...period. Tell me one and i'll be your best friend. And what is so great is that everyone has one. Movies, games, comics, books or the spoken word. It's easy for me to see why epic stories have been the binding glue of man's identity since the birth of civilization

Other Interests: My first love in life since a small child has always been art. But to be honest, if I had not chosen to follow my dreams, I could say with confidence I probably would have pursued my other great love of biology. I am fascinated with the natural world and everything in it. Yep...with a twist of fate I could have very have been a biologist certainly, but am so happy that I chose to follow my true ambitions.

But then again, I am quite sure this comes thru clearly thru my pet project...

Pet Project:
Metroidguide.com
I am a huge fan of the Metroid series by Nintendo. I created this website for fun in high school and have since then built it up, maintained it and added to it ever since. Really a pet project of love when i'm not doing my stories, film or art :)
