Personal History
My Family's Farm
I grew up on a farm in Central Wisconsin (Mosinee). We sold Christmas Trees, Pumpkins, and holiday trinkets for over 20 years on our farm. Primarily boasting the "choose-and-cut" style of picking a Christmas tree, providing a heated-barn restaurant, and cutting a corn maze every year. It's a big part of my family and I'm glad I got to grow up around visiting travelers every season.
Have now begun exploring the space of vineyards and wine making due to Wisconsin's growing winery scene and the environment's perfect rocky-hill conditions for grape vines.
Snowy Wisconsin Benefits
With lots of snow where I'm from, and living within 15 minutes of Granite Peak Ski Resort, I've been snowboarding for nearly ten years now. Keeps me active during the Winter months and have been slowly spreading this favorite hobby of mine to everyone I meet!
For activities that are a little more motorized, I switch between snowmobiling and dirt biking depending on the season. Northern Wisconsin always has great trails for both hobbies year after year.
Music
During the quarantine, and especially because of Game Development, I've been more interested in creating music.
From the quarantine, I picked up piano and guitar to start creating digital music -- before I had plans to start developing games.
From the creation of the Outlet Dev Group, I've prioritized the presence of an original soundtrack (OST) is each of our games, allowing others to use those resources as well as catchy music for players to listen to.
