Fast forward to the 2020s, as the industry has grown and more developers have stepped forward, so have perspectives widened too. Season, I think, is a great example of that, sitting alongside Oregon Trail.
I know that for all kinds of reasons, your road has not been an easy one. And your breast cancer diagnosis, just as you were stepping out into the world as a young adult, must have been devastating.
Throughout this long battle, you fulfilled your obligations to your family, friends, and your coworkers at nXscale with a quiet grace, calmness, and determination that I will forever admire.
Your example inspires me, Rodly. And everything you have achieved and will achieve will be thanks to your own exceptional intelligence, skill, and heart.
All of us in your life simply opened the door for you; it was up to you alone to step through those doors and make the most out of the opportunities life presented you.
Are you looking for a talented 3D Artist for game development? Are you looking for someone who will also bring superb organizational skills, an ability to produce strong documentation accompanying their work, and an absolutely winning attitude?
Then look no further than my colleague Wesley Adams here. ^_^
During our collaboration on an exciting project at Digimancy Entertainment, Wesley’s ability to quickly produce visually striking 3D characters made a significant impact. His impressive 3D art talents were evident in every piece he created.
Not only that, but he stepped up in all kinds of ways to assist the team and worked closely with team members to set up and maintain essential documents related to our 3D pipeline and asset needs. Wesley Adams will be an immediate multiplier to any game development team looking for a skilled 3D artist and fantastic team member.
And I am glad to call Wesley not only a work peer but a real friend many months after our work together. If he applies to your team, hire him ASAP before someone else nabs him up!
It was such a pleasure catching up with Jane Brien the Director of Alumni Affairs for Bard College, on her recent visit to Santa Fe to connect with Alumni and supporters of Bard’s educational mission. I would also like to express my thanks to Malia K. Du Mont, the VP and Chief of Staff at Bard College, for helping put us together.
In the aftermath of the terrible shooting at former President Trump’s rally, I am reminded of my conversation on The Ask podcast with New York Times Opinion columnist and bestselling author David French about his book: Divided We Fall. A poignant mediation on a possible future United States plagued and ruined by politically fueled violence.
Thankful for my good health, the health of my parents, my sister, her children and husband, and the rest of my family. I miss Frankie so much but I am thankful he is at peace now.
Thankful for my friendships.
Thankful for the professional opportunities and experiences I have had over the past two years.
Life is sweet, rich, and it is always to be savored.
