I'm a Software Engineer living in the Dallas area. Yes, I do have a job and life outside of Gaia, lol. I have a degree in Computer Science from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I grew up in a small town on the river halfway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans and travel home as often as I can.
I'm an
Omni Moderator. This means I work on account issues, hacking and scamming cases, special projects related to account security, site safety, and moderator training. I also work in Towns, Aquariums, General Discussion, Art Contests, Art Discussion, The Chatterbox, and Profiles.
Please direct all Moderator-related questions to my inbox. I will not respond to any that are posted in my comments.
And don't forget to check out my

These are a list of questions I get asked frequently, so please read through these before PMing me. Thanks!
How do I become a moderator?
There is an FAQ at the top of the Questions and Assistance forum. Make sure to read the entire FAQ because there are certain requirements you have to meet in order to become a moderator.

Someone asked for my password and claims I will be banned if I don't give it to them. What do I do?
Gaia staff will
never ask you for your passwords. If someone is asking for your password, no matter who they claim to be, report them immediately. If you are asked for your password in a private message, click the report button at the top of the private message. If this happened in the forums, report the individual post that asks for the password. If the original poster is asking for your password, report the thread at the bottom of the page.
How can I tell if someone is really a moderator or admin?
Admins, developers/artists, moderators, and forum assistants all have colored names. For more detailed information on spotting Gaia staff, read
this announcement.
Oh no! I've been hacked! What do I do?
If you have been hacked, please fill out a
hacking report. PMing a moderator will not help you to get your things back, so make sure you report the hacking there. Also, moderators are very busy, so try to be patient once you fill out the report. PMing one ore multiple moderators will not make the process go any faster.
Oh no! I've been scammed! What do I do?
If you have been scammed, please fill out a
scamming report. PMing a moderator will not help you to get your things back, so make sure you report the hacking there. Also, moderators are very busy, so try to be patient once you fill out the report. PMing one ore multiple moderators will not make the process go any faster.
I heard mods have a super-secret item generator. Is this true?
If this was true, I wouldn't need my art shop! Moderators have to work for their gold just like everyone else.
