Well here we go again... Had moved to Rhode Island to work for 38
Studios and it was AMAZING! But..... the Company decide to die. So
i am going to be moving back to Seattle for July, back to the city
i love and loves me in return!
8/6/11
----------------------------------------------
About to move to Providence, RI. Where i know 1 person... exciting
right? Moving there to work for a game studio, pretty exciting
thing right? I will be looking for new friends, new adventures, new
things to do with my new life! :D
7/14/11
----------------------------------------------
Well im going to leave all of the other crap below still, just in
case someone wants to read it... even though myself i do not seem
to want to read it to find out about... oh i digress.
Almost 32 (feels weird to write that down.). Finding that i am full
of dreams and looking for outlets to fulfill them. As you may know
by reading my profile? maybe? perhaps? I make video games for a
living. It can be fun, and it can be hell. But it is my only love
in life right now. Well that and a few select best friends that i
love with all my heart (Don't tell them, things would get
weird.).
Right now i am in between projects, so a lot of down time. However
i am on the prowl right now for my next one. (Fancy way of saying
unemployed.) However! this never lasts long, and is part of the
industry, you work crazy 90+ hour weeks, game ships. Then zoom bang
you are back to doing nothing for awhile. Then BANG whatever dev
you end up working for pulls you out of your exile to do it all
over again. Tis the life.
You have maybe even seen some of my stuff in the video games you
play :) Especially if you play RPG's or FPS's or even a certain
recent open world game squeal staring a super hero with electric
powers, that is exclusively on the ps3 :) (if you really look
around, you MIGHT even find some of my bumper stickers on the cars
"555-ANDY for Justice" and that sort of thing.)
Anyways, any other info and you will have to ask.
Also don't know i am going to be sticking around in Seattle, the
future is uncertain and all. But i go where the job takes me. And
it might be taking me to the east coast soon. SO if i have looked
at your profile and live in Providence, RI and are wonder
"WTF is this wanker doing looking at my profile eh? Whats that all
eh'bout" (No i do not think people on er in er on Road Island are a
bunch of weird 1337 / brit / Canadian hybrids.. it just sounded
funnier in my head that way. )
Anyways i lament...
I am always looking for new adventures. So i am not closed off to
the idea of a woman being in my life, just know i dont really
"need" one. :) But girls do smell nice.. although i bet not as nice
as William Shatner did.. (Mom paid for me to have a picture with
him.. he smelled like a grandpa should smell.. or like sunshine.. i
am not sure witch..)
(Ramble... end of line.)

----------------------------------------------
I did indeed get the position in Portland, HOWEVER some things /
opportunities have presented them-selfs in Seattle, so i will
indeed be staying in the city i love, Seattle... i honestly don't
know why i considered moving...
So i will be in Seattle for the foreseeable future, this is where
games are mainly made on the west coast anyways :) (And before you
read any further, that is what i do.. i make video games :) every
12 year olds dream.)
8/22/10
Decided to come back to Seattle till after PAX.
----------------------------------------------
I got the new job in portland, but my place is paid up till 10/1,
so i decided to come back to seattle for a few weeks, till the
place in portland is really ready for me to move into. However i
think i will be moving there, unless i find a better video game
related job in seattle in the mean time. (You never know; and if
you are confused just ask me ;) it will be alright. heh.)
8/17/10
Totally got the job in Portland
-----------------------------------------------
So now i am going to be moving to portland :) well i am already
here, just none of meh stuff is here quite yet. And i kinda just
have a few friends :( So i am interested in new friends, but to be
honest i am more interested in a new girlfriend heh. (Tis a dating
site after all.)
Also i have TONES of free time right now, My new job does not start
for a few weeks, so between getting settled, i have lots of time to
put down some roots here. So if anyone wants to take up some of
that free time, message me. :D
8/12/10
Zomg sumer is almost over, and i have not had any summer love
:/
---------------------------------------------
So totally about to go check things out in portland, currently
visiting cal till the end of this week. there is a 90% chance i
will be moving to portland, but never fear as i will be getting
back to seattle all the time, for work and friends.
The games thing has taken off, my contract is done at Bungie for
the time being, and im about to take a position of a testing lead
in portland, doing what i dont know yet, but i am sure it will be
fun and exciting.
Again... no summer love yet, but i was kind of working crazy hours
till a week ago... so i am er mobile but stable i would say heh.
Perfect time to scoop me up? hehehe.
6/01/10
Happy almost Summer!
---------------------------------------------
well ok it is summer. I just started a new job at Bungie :) living
the dream as it where :) still doing the single thing, to be honest
i just have not clicked really with anyone in person lately. If you
like what you see, contact me :) heheh. wow that was
horrible.
Have not had much time to do much photography lately, been putting
a lot of energy into my career!
If you want to know more, just ask :)
UPDATE:12/25/09 er 26 ish...
---------------------------------------
er belated christmas?
I wanted to add to my profile that http://www.picturesnap.net is up
and running finally :).... after years of having the domain heh.
finally did something with it, and finally doing something with the
oodles and oodles of photos.
Let me know what you think :). I feel i have kind of hit a wall, i
dont know what to do next with my photography besides take more
pictures at this point. I want to keep progressing, and it is so
annoying that a online presence takes so much time to build.
:(
UPDATE:12/12/09
---------------------------------------
Well it being 12/12, thought i would update this just a smidge.
Have been super busy.. ish... as busy as i will let myself get.
Have been working very hard at the same position i mention in the
previous update. Also finally started to edit my old photos from
the past 5 years. A slow and painful process. Also just got a new
camera, so my photography gear is in high mode :) besides that,
just trying to stay warm. If you are curious, just ask me. Also
here is a link to my deviant art profile i talked about.

UPDATE:9/18/09
---------------------------------------
So have a new job in the wonderful city of redmond, working for a
company i worked for 6 or so years ago when i got my start in
games. It is a weird feeling seeing what has changed and what is
the same. Also went to PAX and contracted H1N1 right before i got
the new job. FUN.. so i started this new job all exhausted after
just getting over swine flu.
However after working there for two days i got a promotion, so
things are going well. I'm starting to find my center in this city
again. Going to prob start looking at new places to live in the
next month or so. Will update again when something cool happens.
:)
---------------------------------------
I am trying to find my center i guess. In the process of getting
back on with the company i LOVED to work for but had to leave for
family reasons. Getting back to me, is the best way to put it i
guess.
So i have been back in Seattle for a few weeks now, things are not
going "as planned" but not to bad either. I have re-connected with
a few of my old best friends, and trying to figure the rest out.
The job i moved up here to get seems to have evaporated, i have not
let it slow me down.
So umm extra points if you can refer me to a good software company
that is looking for an awesome QA person or Assistant Producer. :)
