Game Development

Deep rooted interest that started from first playing games as a child to developing my senior project game for Kalamazoo College. Currently as a single developer I have a vested interested in working for a larger company. My ultimate goal for Game Development is to further explore its potential for not only entertainment but for other fields such as medical, technical, or educational.
