I was Chairman and founder of an artists discussion group from 2004 - 2007 in Memphis, TN. The group focused on industry techniques and ideal discussion.

As a Guild Leader of an online gaming group 2007 - 2013, " The Order Of Chaos " in a game called "" which continued into "". I extended my research into the industry of art, animation, and media. I gained a wealth of knowledge about team building, communication, and taking advantage of diverse groups of people to accomplish goals.
