I previously come from the game industry. I worked 2 years as a modeler and texture artist and 5 years as a Senior and Lead Environment artist. I helped ship 4 titles, including games such as Civilization Revolution and Civilization 5 for Firaxis Games in Maryland. In 2011 I began teaching for Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis as a student academic while working on my master's degree. In 2013 I began teaching full time as a lecturer and have done so ever since.  I love games and still play them. I have a strong passion for all forms of art but in particular art for games, animation, and other forms of entertainment. In my spare time I like creating my own 3D work, 3D printing them, and painting them by hand.
