Acknowledgements

I would like to thank the faculty staff of Digital Media Arts at Hamline University. Josh Gumiela, Curt Lund and Dave Ryan. They have helped me and guided me through the creative process involved in the world of digital media arts. They are outstanding professors that have quite the knowledge to share with others.

I would also like to thank Coach Weyandt and the Hamline University Baseball Program for supporting me through my academic and athletic career in college. I have learned a lot about culture and important values for success as a man throughout life.

Most importantly, I would like to acknowledge my parents (mostly my mom) for being great parents. They are the most important part of my growth in society. They are the part of the reason why I am able to function and converse with others as good as a normal hearing person.
