My name is Trevor Babcock, I am 21 years old and games have been a part of my life from a very young age.
I grew up on a 1-acre plot of land surrounded by fields and cow farms, so video games allowed me to explore the world in a much more interesting way.
It wasn't in my head that I could pursue games as a career, however. This changed after I got out of high-school and explored my options. Knowing that I wanted to be enveloped in a creative and technical discipline in eventually dawned on me... I would create instead of purely consume this medium that had been entangled in fondess memories.
I quickly looked at the hiring positions for Bethesda, found a game design position, learned what that was, and then enrolled myself in Full Sail University.
