Thomas Billings

I am a Game Developer/Programmer and this is where you can find information about my work and I.

I am 26 years old and I have been playing games my whole life. In 2007 I decided that I want to start creating games for people to enjoy. I decided to go to Full Sail University for their recognition of the game development program and it being a bachelors in two years. In those two years it was tough to handle the work load and schedules, but it was a lot of fun and I had a great time. In 2008 I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Game Development. My interests are playing and making games, watching movies, reading manga, and going to the beach. My goals are creating great games and having a lead programmer position.
