Where to start?

As the headline says, I am an artist. H.R. Giger is hands down my biggist inspiration. Not only are his works unique and amazing, his mindset and determination got him to the point that he was at in his career; he pushed himself, and did what everyone else said he couldn't do. I try to model my efforts in life after his; letting no one stop me from reaching my goals and always striving towards success.

Video games have had a large impact on my life as well; anyone who has ever said that video games do not teach you anything, obviously has never reslly paid attention. Lessons on life, how to exerpience it and live it to the fullest can always be found in the stories within a video game. Something I love is a good story, whether its in a book, a game or movie, I love stories. However, when it comes to my books, no matter how tech savy I am, I perfer my classic bound paper and hard backs to a tablet or eBook. Nothing beats that smell of ink on paper, or the feeling of meeting a old friend when openning up the pages to a personal favorite again.

I graduated from Southern Wayne High school in 2010, and started college at Wayne Community College that fall for Games Simulation and Desgin. I join the school's Phi Beta Lambda Chapter and competed in the Computer Game Desgin at the 2011 State Leadership Confrence and won first place. At the National Leadership Confrence held in Orlando Florida the same year, I also won first place. Unfortunately, I had to leave the school because life likes to through too many lemons at you to handle all at once.

Now I am attending Argosy University as of the summer of 2014, purssuing my Bachelor's degree in Computer and Network Security. I hope to also have a minor in Busniess and in Web Desgin.

My ultimate goal in life is be a successful person, and to be happy in those accomplishments. I want to be able to be an inspiration to other people, to follow their dreams and their goals not matter what people say or where they are in life.
