About Me
I'm Morgan, a developer, photographer, musician, and all-around creator with a passion for building things and exploring worlds, both real and virtual. Here's a little more about what makes me tick.
Gaming
Gaming has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have a deep love for The Legend of Zelda series, Halo, and I've spent more hours than I'd like to admit in Old School RuneScape and World of Warcraft. I'm a big fan of Bethesda RPGs. There's nothing quite like getting lost in an Elder Scrolls or Fallout world. Diablo and Age of Empires are also staples in my rotation, and honestly there's so much more. If it's a game with a great world to explore or a competitive edge to chase, I'm probably into it.
Coffee
I'm absolutely a coffee enthusiast, and it's the fuel that powers everything I do. At home I pull shots on my Chefman Crema Supreme espresso machine using Starbucks regular and blonde espresso beans, and my go-to recipe pairs Starbucks vanilla syrup with Torani White Mocha sauce. The result is this creamy, sweet, café-quality latte that I genuinely look forward to every single morning. Making coffee at home has become its own ritual: dialing in the grind, steaming the milk just right. It's a small creative act before the day even starts.
Photography
I take pictures because I honestly enjoy the whole process: getting out, looking for a frame, dealing with the messiness of it. Lately the stuff I return to most is street work and live music. Streets are slow and quick in the same afternoon; a concert is all sweat and color and not enough light, and I like that challenge.
The camera I use was my dad's. He gave it to me before he passed away, and that's a huge part of why I care about this at all. It isn't only the photos. It's that carrying his gear pushed me to be more creative, and in more areas of my life, than I would have bet on when I first picked it up. I still think of it as his gift, and I try to use it in a way that would make sense to him.
If you want to look, a few of my shots are on the photography page.
Game Modding
Beyond playing games, I love modding them. I have a particular passion for creating mods for Minecraft. There's something incredibly satisfying about reshaping a game world and adding your own ideas to it. I've been working on a bunch of projects behind the scenes and have many more mods to publish soon. Modding sits right at the intersection of development and gaming for me, and it's one of the most rewarding creative challenges I take on.
Music Production
I have a home music studio where I spend a lot of time creating. My DAWs of choice are FL Studio and Logic Pro, and I work on all sorts of projects, from producing beats and crafting soundtracks for video games to writing pop punk tracks. Music is one of those outlets where everything else fades away and I can just focus on building something that feels right. Whether it's layering synths for an atmospheric game score or tracking guitars for an energetic punk song, the studio is where a lot of my best ideas come to life.
