    Growing up, I had seen many people struggle in my hometown. I had seen dozens of family members overdose on opioids and many people dove head first into financial oblivion. I knew that I did not want that and spent many of my formative years studying how dopamine works, how addiction works, how goals work, how motivation works, how discipline works, and how economy and entrepreneurship work. I had learned a tremendous amount and I hadn't even completed high school yet. Once I completed high school, I studied at Strayer University and received my Associate's degree of Science in Business Administration. Since then, I have been a successful business owner for the past five years now. I regularly coach clients on how to make their lives and businesses the most optimized they can be. I just recently decided to step up my game by moving into the freelancing market to increase my clientele exponentially. So, I am aware of your curiosity: What skills do I possess? I am a highly logical problem solver that highly values self-discipline. I am quite open-minded and optimistic with an exceptional sense of efficiency and organization. I give my all everyday to use today to make tomorrow better. Also, I excel in helping others along the journey! In my free time, I love to learn as much as I can and think deeply about topics that matter to me. I have a deep love with (and I am proficient in) writing, programming, technology, design, editing, and information technology!

    I’m a self taught 3D Artist with a decade of off and on hobby level experience. I specialize in character creation. However, I can also animate, edit videos, and create environment assets. I originally wanted to create my own indie game, but my standards were too high for each stage of the game dev pipeline to do on my own. Now I am here to help you with your 3D project. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to help. I would also be interested in joining a small indie team and taking on a larger workload for a portion of studio ownership or percentage of game profit depending on budget constraints and status of your project.
