I sunk who knows how many weekends into videogames growing up in Northwest Oregon. Now, I play and write them.

Okay, this version of ‘About Me’ that is less formal than what is on my homepage.

My goal is providing your studio with compelling writing involving engaging characters, storylines, and a player-first mindset. While I work alone very well, I love collaborating to achieve outstanding results

My passion is in developing high-fidelity, single player titles, ranging from science fiction and fantasy FPSs, RPGs, and branching narratives. However, you can see my range of contributions is also in pixel art sci-fi, fairy tale fantasy, and RPGs. Additionally, you will see smaller bits like item descriptions and multiplayer callouts in my portfolio. If I had to narrow down my writing style, it ranges from wise-cracking to dramatic.

A few of my favorites like these are Marvel's Spiderman, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Life is Strange, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Walking Dead by Telltale Games, and Halo 3. Aloy learning how her birth is connected to the reborn, post-apocalyptic world around her was so intriguing to see unfold. A nameless player-character waking up in a certain carriage later gets saved by a dragon once thought disappeared. Brothers bantering with each other while chasing pirate treasure before their nemesis does. Or Master Chief splattering Flood Infection forms with a Warthog, driving at top speed, to the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn before the Halo ring detonates. Those moments encapsulate my passion for videogames and game writing.

But wait, that’s not all! I am quite competitive. From Battlefield to sometimes PubG, to others like Call of Duty, Gang Beasts, and Apex Legends - playing with others is thrilling. Mostly, I dive into Halo. That franchise hooked me over twenty-one years ago. Having the opportunity to stuff like voice-acting, level design, or writing on a multiplayer game would kick butt. Like for Halo.

On the flipside, since 2015 I have also written prose. All of a few short stories and a novel; none of them are traditionally published. My other writing goal, then, is becoming an author. To get me there, I am writing my first novel, a military science fiction story with humor and heart currently called Project Ellexis. Between fine-tuning space fights to my main character piecing together unbelievable plot twists with her brother, it is in the challenging phase of developmental editing. Additionally, as an aside, I have a few by-lines of videogame journalism with Love Thy Nerd.

What’s my qualification? I received that piece of paper from Portland State University as a B.S in English Literature and a Minor in Creative Writing Fiction, in 2018. That’s what happens when you start college as a computer science major - you change to writing! Additionally, I have three indie titles worked on, including one commercial release: Star Rift Saga.
