I grew up in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio where I was active in sports and choir most of my life. In 2000, I moved to Cincinnati for college, where I attended the University of Cincinnati and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Spanish Literature. I now live in Los Angeles.
Gaming: I grew up with Nintendo, Kings Quest, and Sim City. My most memorable gaming moment is when our PC crashed, and I lost all my progress working my way up to Super Sleuth on Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? You can now find me playing across most mediums of gaming. I spend an intermittent amount of time playing World of Warcraft, but when I’m not addicted to WoW, I enjoy mainly platform and puzzle games. My favorites include Fable, Tetris and the Phoenix Wright Series. Yoshi is my character of choice.

Other hobbies: When I’m not working, gaming or sleeping, you can find me reading a book, cruising the internet or watching movies. My book and movie tastes parallel my infatuation with the criminal mind. I love psychological thrillers and pretty much anything to do with the law. If it isn’t obvious, my favorite author is John Grisham. I also enjoy Alice Sebold, and of course, the Harry Potter series. My favorite actor is Christian Bale, and my favorite band is Guster. I also just bought my first sewing machine, and am working on leveling that skill.
