 | I was born in Cleveland in 1980. I lived in a suburb, graduated high school in 1998 and found myself at Kent State. While there the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened, and like many of my brothers-in-arms, my life changed forever. I graduated college and instead of commissioning like any normal person, I enlisted in the Marines. I joined 2 days after graduation from Kent and spent the following 3 months at Parris Island. A few months later I checked in to 2D Anglico and quickly shipped out on my first pump to Kharma, Iraq. I had 2 tours with Anglico and sep'd out with 3/10- a now demilled arty unit.
Like most of us, transitioning from the Marines into a civilian was torture. I had lost a number of friends in the war, and even as having sep'd a civilian, I was constantly losing people whom I was close with. This coupled with drinking, smoking, and chewing at the cyclic was torment. I ended up getting a masters degree in art and got back into teaching, something I have always missed about the Marines.
I started working on this game as an Art teacher in a middle school. I was slowly developing this with a buddy Patrick who is in the video.
As I developed the game I created the BETA 2.0 of which I shipped 120 copies of games for testing out to a number of Marines all over the world. They gave me back some solid gouge and I feel as that all the issues in the game are resolved and a great game has been created. |
