Writing
"If creation is thy craft, then imagination is the tool to draw upon thy canvas."

​
As long as I can remember, I've loved to create stories.
Collegiately in game development, I've written for design, UI, character dialogue, and narrative. However, writing is a passion of mine that extends far beyond the reaches of my professional work.
So much so, that it's actually one of the core elements that paved the way to my decision to pursue the path of game design as a career.
​
Ironically, I despised reading and writing when I was younger. Though as birthdays passed, I found that my perspective began to change. Today, I find writing in many forms to be relaxing and rewarding.
I like to tell stories through the interactions of a controller and a screen. But through the medium of verbiage on a piece of parchment, there's a magic within the personal visualizations that take place in a reader's mind, and I find that incredibly alluring as a storyteller.
So when I have time to myself... I like to write.
Book One of the 'Guardians' Series
​
In a time and place where creatures of darkness run all but rampant, childhood friends... a boy who lived as a servant, and a prince, whom he served... must come to terms with their lives' harsh realities as they are thrust separately without warning into a world of murder, vampires, and demons.
Following their individual stories, they will meet mysterious characters, fall into unfortunate circumstance, and struggle to overcome their overwhelming adversaries as they grapple with the darker tides lying beyond the veil of the mundane. This is a story of fantasy, horror, love, and death... dipped in veins of combat, subterfuge, and the supernatural.
