I was born and raised in Hawaii. Fighting games have always been a staple in my family. Being a part of the lower class of society we didn't have that much money for games so multiplayer games were the most common. Fighting games provided tons of challenge between me and my cousins.

Mostly scrub fights. In fact, I remember my cousins used to throw that word around a lot, and it wasn't til years later that I found out what it meant and the how universal the word "scrub" is.

I would continue growing and I would make friends that played fighting games. However it wouldn't be til the arrival of Street Fighter 4 til I actually actively participate in local gatherings, media capturing and general study of the game. If I had no idea what Shoryuken.com was because I didn't really have my own computer til I enlisted in the U.S. Army when I was 17, eventually stumbling upon SRK in '09 at the age of 24.

As of right now I am formerly a student and currently a stay at home father. I am a huge part of the Olympia, WA fighting game scene. Helping it grow by recording matches and engaging in projects in either the technology side or the strategy side. We are currently really small, about 20 people. I only want to see it grow more and more.

Some of my current projects are in regards to older poverty titles. I would like to contribute the information I find to the SRK wiki. That is the reason why I am interested in author status.

Thanks to for accepting me. I'm off to work now.
