Wrote my first game when I was 8 years old on an ATARI. Two dots raced across the screen and my sister and I would bet on which would get to the finish line first.
Put myself through school while working 40hrs per week, switched from a CS major to Physics and graduated with a BS
Tired of hyper-realistic golf simulators with 8 million settings for each stroke, glitchy mouse controls to dictate your ball control, and artificial difficulty ramps during progression, so I'm making my own casual golf game with an easy to understand skill tree, trophy ball rewards, simulated in-game gambling, and just a fun, relaxing game of golf that won't make me rage-quit.
And yes, I live off the grid in the middle of the woods in the Ozark Mountains, it's not just a namsake.
