His most memorable at Parkland 鈥渉appened while waiting to take some placement exams. I was planning on taking the collision repair degree at the time. While waiting to take the tests I picked up a course catalog laying on a table. I thumbed through and landed on a page that had 3D animation courses. I immediately decided this was what I wanted to do. The rest is history.鈥�
