Iโm a nontraditional student and artist with an interest in interactive media. Prior to beginning schooling, I worked as an actor in several films (Dazed and Confused, Computer Chess), as a user interface designer, and as a board member of the Juegos Rancheros arts nonprofit. During that time I produced the Fantastic Arcade international games festival. Iโm currently completing undergraduate studies at UCLAโs Design Media Arts department with plans to continue into an MFA program in media art.
