Personal Statement
United through gaming has become a personal mantra for me during my life and this is how that came to be. I grew up in a normal middle-class household in a small town, Durango, Colorado. My mother worked from home and my father did the chores and remodeling work around the house. I would often help my father with projects around the house and we frequently would argue and be short tempered with one another, it at one point got bad enough that I was planning on coming to college and not speaking with him after that.
However, that changed when he convinced me to play a game called Black Desert Online (BDO) with him. This game and shared commonality assisted in restoring my relationship with my dad to the point where now I’m very close to him. This was the event that caused me to want to become a game designer to make games that can bring people together, especially in a world where we often find ourselves divided against one another.
