Hello, I'm Thomas - thrilled to make your acquaintance.
In the mid-90s, I discovered my passion for coding and technology while working on automation and teleconferencing systems. These early experiences sparked my interest in the ever-evolving world of tech.
However, in 1999, I decided to take a different path and pursue my dreams of racing mountain bikes. I ventured into the world of mountain biking and later transitioned into becoming a nationally ranked Ultra Runner in the US by 2008. My journey in the world of extreme sports was an exhilarating adventure.
Following a life-changing accident, I found myself reconnecting with my tech roots. I realized that my childhood dream of creating games was still very much alive within me. I jumped back into the world of technology and discovered the captivating world of game development with the Unity Engine.
Now, I'm living my dream by combining my love for tech and my passion for game creation. Unity's creative possibilities allow me to bring my imagination to life through gaming experiences.
As an instructor at GameDev. tv, I'm excited to share my knowledge and experiences with all of you. Together, let's explore the wonders of game development and craft extraordinary interactive worlds that captivate players worldwide!
