Nathan McClain
Washington, United States
After retiring from the Army, serving as a mechanic and later a paralegal, I have followed my passion of developing and designing games. Just a year after leaving the Army I completed an Associates Degree in Game Design from Montgomery College, a Bachelor's Degree in Simulation and Digital Entertainment from the University of Baltimore. After graduating I decided to further my knowledge by earning a Masters Degree in Software Development from Boston University. I currently work as a software developer while teaching programming for interactive design at the University of Baltimore. My goal is to learn to harness the facets of game design and apply them to make ground breaking educational tools. To accomplish this goal I am in the process of applying for a PhD in Educational Technology.
