Interests

When I am not making games, I enjoy playing them either alone or with friends. I prefer retro and indie titles, specifically platformers. With friends, I like to play Dungeons and Dragons. As the dungeon master, it is my role to control the world that my friends play in. I have tons of fun voicing characters, throwing plot twists, and watching my players bond!

As a disciple of Christ, I like to spend time at my campus's BCM ministry when I can. Otherwise, I pass the time by playing piano, trying out new recipes, and listening to music. My favorite afternoons are rainy and spent with hot tea and a funny book.
