Born in CT by two Chinese immigrants, I am the first in my family to attend higher education. To their dismay, I opted to pursue a Fine Arts degree.

My interest in 3D started with Iron Man but also with the many flight simulators I was playing with on my Dad’s pc. We had everything from Jane’s USAF to IL2 Sturmovic. The immersion of these sims had a profound impact on my young mind. However, his pc wasn’t the gaming pc I needed and I wanted more visual fidelity.

After building my first PC, I was still somewhat disappointed by the results. Sims have gotten newer and harder to run and I wanted to be able to see more buildings and better textures crossing over the channel past the Cliffs of Dover.

It seemed tinkering with graphic settings and messing with config files was so fun, I decided to try to make a career of it.
