Who am I? Where do I come from? Why am I made of polystyrene? The answer to all these questions can be found below!
I was born on June 30, 1990 in Maine. That's a state in the U.S.A., for those who don't know. I don't remember much about these first years. As the story goes though, at three years old I bumped my head on a radiator and got stitches in my eye. I still have the scar. Also, the earliest memory I have comes from my time spent in preschool: My class went to see the Lion King. We also got a lot of McDonalds. I also met some of my best friends in preschool (and I'm still good friends with a lot of them). I think it was at about this age that I discovered I was a genius.
I spent two years living in Switzerland, on account of my dad's company offered him the opportunity. It was here that I attended Kindergarten and actually became fluent in Swiss German, a non-written language that is similar to the "adult" German. I made friends there. Swiss friends. I've visited them from time to time. It was also at this age that I first began using a computer. My dad would scan in coloring book pages and I'd color them in MSPaint. It was at this age that I discovered I was an artist.
My family moved back to the United States, and I attended school in America. It didn't take long for me to forget my German, much to my disappointment these days. I also began playing with a construction toy called K'Nex and even won their national "K'Nexpert" challenge, making me one of the top-10 builders in the nation. I was pretty happy about that. Oh, and it was also at this age that I got appendicitis and had to have my appendix removed. The thing I remember most clearly about that whole illness was the terrible pain. It was a humbling experience.
Finally! After doing an extensive Google search, I discovered Game Maker. Having had no previous programming knowledge, it took some time before I became proficient at working on the program. I also began to have an interest in music for the first time in my life. At 15 years old I entered high school.
Time accelerates. I continue to attend high school. I'm looking at colleges. I've picked up guitar. I have an intense interest in music. Game making is starting to take a back seat.
If anything else happens in my life, I'll probably add it here.
