Video Games allow us to not just tell stories but experience them as well. This is unique to our genre of entertainment.

Combining Game Development with

Historical events is an amazing opportunity

to have people experience our past.

I studied History as an undergraduate at West Chester University in

West Chester, PA

I took many modern history courses and a few military focused

courses. Between school and researching on my own, I have fairly good knowledge about these

subjects.

Using my historical knowledge, I will do all I can to make a

game that is fun and entertaining while being historically

accurate.

I personally find the Second World War to

be the most interesting event in human history. My dream is to help

others experience the greatness of this

conflict.

Using video games, we can give people a

connection to this time in history.

Working on this game’s development

will allow me to create something that I

would be proud of and also teach people about the Second

World War without them realizing it

Creating an accurate and

realistic account of World War 2 is my dream and would

be an honor to work on

Before going to school for Game Development I

worked in customer support for multiple

Companies

Working in groups in my

previous places of employment I have a good

attitude toward teamwork

Working near or with other

developers allows me to bounce

ideas off of them as well as give

and receive constructive

criticism

is a Lion King themed game of

Pong

My first step of success will be

graduating with a degree in Game Development.

When I graduate my goal will be to get a

job with a development team at a game studio.

get my name on a triple ‘A’ title.
