From a very earcly age I have had an extraodinary fascination with video games. They've always really appealed to me in a way that is totally different to any other I knew. Video games were total escapism to me and by the time I hit my teens I had already foaght many fansastic fantasy battles and conquered many worlds. These video game experiences made me a better man! I really feel that I learned a lot from playing video games, not just being lazy but some really good morrals in life.

 

At some point in my very early years I discovered the wonders of modeling. The modeling of tiny plastic minatures manufactured by a company called citidal, on behalf of teh scultors of Games Workshop, who also wrote rules for a tabletop battle game that involved utilizing these models to fight out intense battles over 6 by 4 tables decorated with lovingly sculted scenery acting as a minature world to escape in. I eventually got so good at painting these models that everybody in the club that I went to wanted me to paint their models for them It was heaven for me!

 

Ever since I was a very young child I've always loved almost everything "geeky" from cartoons to comics. I think of this hobby as a way in which I can express my creativity, and it's a lot! Along with my collecting hobby I found pleasure in writing discriptive short stories ranging from fan fiction to original science fiction noire mini serieses, non of which were ever published but it's a hobby I'd love to pursue and make a carear out of.

 

When my brother turned 16 and enrolled on as many courses as he could in order to become what he'd always wanted to become, i was amazed with his enthusiasm and commitment to his work. I was always really inerested in all of the stories he had to tell from IT courses at college whilst I was attending a course for retail at another college. As the kind of store that I've always wanted to work in would be a gaming and collectable store, I found that after I had completed my retail course I was drawn to IT at the same college as my brother. This was one of the best decisions of my life! I figured that with the mix of retail experience and IT knowledge would give me the essential skills required in order to fulfill my dream to work in the area that I would ever want to.
