Dakota is an experienced game designer, environment artist, writer, and asset creator who also specializes in managerial leadership and instruction. Whenever he’s not guiding teams and adroitly navigating complex situations, he continues to be actively involved in teaching, leading a variety of courses across numerous platforms and programs. He finds it deeply rewarding to see GameU’s students grow, achieve their goals, and move on to accomplish amazing things in their careers and lives. Being part of those moments – even in a small way! – is something near and dear to his heart. Ultimately, his goal is to expand GameU’s reach and mission, making the greatest positive impact for as many students and families as possible!

In his free time, Dakota enjoys bodybuilding, gaming, and playing with his Shetland sheepdog Cillian and stray-turned-housecat KitKat.
