My main interests are 3D Virtual Experiences, specifically mixed reality applications(AR, VR). I co-founded a mobile game company before graduating college. I have over 8 years experience in the game industry and utilize that to help create an environment where hard work and passion are focused toward designing and creating awesome content.
