My grandfather got me started early in life with a VIC-20, most people don't remember that little box, but it was a wonderful piece of equipment. My grandmother purchased magazines that had code in them from Target and I chugged away at typing in code after code and then saved it to a cassette tape!

Now I am an Indie Game Developer, current languages that I develope in, VB.Net, C#, Torque, DBPro, Aurora, EBasic just to name a few.

I enjoy writing games that others enjoy playing :)
I find it alot more enjoyable to create games than to play games, and my children encourage me, since what ever I make they get to play and have input into.

Its a great day, when you are guaranteed to please your audience and not have to worry about what others think of what you write :)
