MIKESTEAD

Ever see that commercial about making video games on late night TV... Yup that's what I do for a living ... I teach people how to make video games. Professionally, I couldn’t have been more fortunate; I was able to marry my passion for teaching with my training the recording and plastic arts to my vocation as computer nerd and somehow stumbled into being the curriculum designer and Director of the fastest growing video game design and development school in Ontario… (zowie) On a personal level, I am a bit of a goof – although I can serious when I need to be… I’d like to be sexy, but I just don’t have the knack for it; I have a passion and appreciation for the outdoors but I really enjoy the fun and excitement of the city… In any case when I go out I find myself exploring the back roads of the province or wandering the city to see what’s new in the way of theatre, live music and movies… I guess I should mention that I’m always listening to all sorts of eclectic music and I love to cook. My family is very important to me - there is nothing I find more satisfying than spending time with family and friends. Downtime finds me writing or drawing while watching TV.
