I love learning music and computer graphics. This blog discussed some of my projects.
Since preschool, I'm practicing playing a 6 string bass guitar and keyboards. My favorite artists are John Myung (bass player for Dream Theater) and Jordan Rudess (keyboardist for Dream Theater). I love to jam with my brother Vincent (guitar) and father (synth) some of Dream Theater masterpieces. Dance of Eternity is one of my favorite musical art creations.

My other passion is 3D modeling and computer graphics. My favorite program is called Blender. It allows me to build interactive 3 dimensional environments.
