Where are you from originally? What’s your Origin Story?
I’m born and raised in Jacksonville. I wouldn’t mind a change in scenery.
Why are you pursuing a degree in Digital Media?
So I can trick people into giving me money to do something I really enjoy
Who inspires you the most and why?
It’s not a person per say, its everyone making art. Anyone who knows how to do something I don’t understand yet inspires me. We are lucky (in digital media) the odds of us learning everything about a program or technique is incredibly low. Every day is a new opportunity to try something new and figure out a new trick.
What do you do off campus?
I recently got the year pass to Universal and have been going down there on weekends with my girlfriend. I also play video games and work on class projects because that’s what we do in digital media.
What work are you most proud of?
Pride is a weird thing for me. The second I complete something or turn it in, I hate it. Not because it’s bad or unworthy of praise, I just pick apart all the mistakes I made that most people will never notice. So I really don’t have a good answer for this one.
Interesting facts about you:
I collect spores, molds, and fungus.
Favorite Book / Movie / Series / Video Game / Comic?
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy / Way too many to name / Venture Brothers / Valve Games / I kind of fell out of love with comics a few years back
What are your future goals and aspirations?
To finish my degree and get a job, probably in advertising.
One thing you wish you could share with others is…
Share what you know with people. If you see an opportunity to help someone, go for it. We didn’t get to where we are today without someone helping us.
