After the Atari, my next game system was a Nintendo NES, I also began playing on PC (an Amiga) with Leather Goddesses of Phobos, fast forward to the end of the 80s and I started working at SEGA of America in South San Francisco. I joined the team the weekend SEGA Genesis launched and even helped write game hint walk-throughs for several titles including Altered Beast. I’ve owned and played on Dreamcast, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS 2 through 4. Some of my favorite console/Steam games are Zuma Deluxe, Left 4 Dead, and Warframe.

I love that The Sims allows me to explore my creativity through building, creating stories, and recoloring content.

I was born on the island of Oahu – grew up in the SF Bay Area in a liberal and multicultural environment, in July of 2008 I moved cross-country to central Virginia, in December of 2016 I moved half-way back across the country to Houston Texas, then in July of 2025 I moved North-west to Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I grew up figure skating, thinking I’d tour with the Ice Follies or Ice Capades, then coach and design skating costumes. I passed auditions for both shows but missed the weight requirements by 9 and 13 lbs respectively. I tried for two years to lose those 9 pounds before accepting it wasn’t going to happen for me.

For most of my life I waited for my weight to be in a magical, and fictional, perfect place so that I would be “worthy”…Yeah, I know… it wasn’t the only baggage I had to work through. Discovering I’m AuDHD and androsexual gave me language for things I’d spent decades not understanding about myself, and having those words has changed everything. This is me finally in a place of acceptance that the WIN was passing those auditions, just like working at SEGA was, performing burlesque, being a dog mom, being mom to two interesting humans, moving cross country then half way back again and then to the mountains, and so many more moments and experiences.

I’m over 60, and I’m spending my time building indie websites, painting modern art, and making Sims CC. This is the life.
