How It All Started...

Ever since the days of the 386 processor, I have been into computers. When I got my first computer, I tried to learn everything I could learn about computers. When the Internet first came publicly available, I set out to learn as much as I could about everything from programming to graphic design to Web development to 2D/3D art to building computers. I started teaching myself, through tutorials and practice, how to make Web sites and graphics.

In sophomore year in high school, I found the world of 3D modeling. A free program called CarCAD was made by a fan of the video game Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. With that program, I learned how to modify the 3D cars in the game and make my own cars. I finally found a way to combine my passion for art, video games and technology by aspiring to be a Digital Artist.

I then went to college to refine all of my current skills and to learn even more.

I can set up your Web site with the latest and greatest free Magento e-commerce platform. Check out the my Magento demo store.

I created my own social networking Web site at SoMoodee.com to strengthen my Web skills.

I own the following licenses for the Torque Engine:

• Torque ShowTool Pro - Commercial License
• Torque Game Engine v1.5 - Indie License
• Torque Game Builder - Indie License
• Educational Art Bundle
• Torque Constructor
