Various Contract Positions, Worldwide - September 1993 to Present

* Graduating during a recession, the task of finding a full time programming job was difficult. Rather than giving up on my career goals, I began building my experience by completing small contracts for various companies. Even as I started full time work I found that continued contract opportunities gave me the chance to experience new technologies that I might not otherwise have been exposed to. Currently I run a moderately sucessful contract game development company.
