About Me
    I was born on June 14th, 1994 in Minnesota. At age 12 I got into Game Maker, mainly using Drag and Drop for the first year. Ever created a complex working inventory in Drag and Drop? I hope not! Several hours of that, I felt like an idiot when I discovered GML. GML simplified game making for me and allowed me to create good, fun, working games.

Few things about me...
    I am a senior in high school, planning and have been accepted to go to South Dakota State University for Computer Science. I am fairly athletic, playing hockey since 6th grade and running track since 7th. I spend a good amount of time lifting weights and I have to give time away to my girl, but when time permits, I code.
    Freelance web design has become my major time output and my main source of income. Lately though it hasn't been enough as I spend most of it. This has led to me brainstorming over ways to make a little extra money and brought me to the idea of selling a book. I wrote Easy GML and was planning to sell it, but realized it wouldn't sell nearly enough copies to benefit me. I decided to create this site and run on donations, which I hope will be a decent income/
    Besides this, I plan to make some useful programs and make a little money with computer applications made through Game Maker. Eventually I plan to scratch the app market and perhaps jump into the emerging HTML5 market.
