He lived there until October 2001, only a month after 9/11. He then moved to New Britain CT, which is where he currently lives. He lives with his older brother. | |||

When he finally found a team, he wanted to release a demo of the game. The first demo was made in AGS, realizing that SCRAMM ir GLUMOL would not be released within a long time from then. His demo consisted of one room, badly drawn. More a sketch really. And a Zak character with only one frame and one loop. He decided it wasn't enough for him to release the Demo. Within time, he never heard from any of his team members again. He then dropped the project entirely. | When he finally found a team, he wanted to release a demo of the game.
