About
Hi,
I'm a teacher, 3D artist and game developer from the Philadelphia area. I have a background in both Computer Science (Bachelor's from Villanova University) and Game Art (Bachelor's from Full Sail University). I've been doing Game Art for about 15 years and teaching for about 12. I started a company called Brotherly LLC and for the last 10 years or so I've been working on a game in my free time called City of Murals. A lot of the images, videos and designs in my portfolio, especially recently, come from there. You can learn more about the game and check it out here:
