I'm currently a student at the Academy of Art University, graduating in Winter 2006.  My area of focus is 3d environment modeling for games.  My biggest sources of inspiration comes from RPG games, both online (massive multiplayer) and single player.  In fact, it was these types of games that inspired me to move in this direction.

Apart from 3d modeling, I'm pretty much a video game and martial arts addict. I practice the Chinese martial art called Wushu.  My ideal life is to have everything balanced around 3d modeling, video games, and Wushu since they're all connected with each other in certain ways. 

Programs I mainly use to create my work:
-Maya
-Adobe Photoshop
-Unreal Editor
-Hammer Editor


Favorite type of games:
-RPGs (Final Fantasy series, MMOs)
-Fighting games (Tekken, Soul Calibur)
-First Person Shooters (Half-Life 2, Doom 3)

One of my artwork pieces from the Academy was printed on the San Francisco Business Times Newspaper. I was pretty surprised since none of my stuff has ever been printed before. Woot.
