My teacher's Bio

My teacher Richard Blumenstein bio: "Let me introduce myself, I am Richard Blumenstein. I grew up in a small town in  mid-Wisconsin and by my senior year 80% of my classes were art. After high  school I began working at a factory until I realized I needed more in life. I  enrolled in college and began studying at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.  I realized that while I loved drawing and painting I did not see the career potential  at that time. So I transferred to Chicago and got my BFA in Computer Animation  and Multimedia. Oh and I also joined the National Guards in the middle of it. After college I worked several jobs but the economy had taken a turn for the worse.  SOOOO I jumped to Green Bay to be with a girl, that I am no longer with and I just kind  of stayed here. It's a good size city with the things I deem important, Barnes and Noble  and Art Stores. I founded my business in 2000 where I began doing Graphic Design  and Web as well as Illustration and 3D work. In 2005 ITT had called me and asked  me to be an Instructor. I decided to give my hand at it and I worked there for a year  until they recommended that I get a Master's degree. I graduated with a MAE at  University of Phoenix about a year later. I got a full time job teaching Game  Design and continued with my business. Currently I am working with others to create mobile games, a Tower Defense/Attack  Game right now Our website right now for that is http://www.digitalasylumgames.com/  I am also spending my time helping my girlfriend raise her two boys as well as finding  time to work on my second masters degree at Academy of Art for Game Design.  I also find that I am jumping back to my passion of Drawing and Digital Painting.  It's funny how life works out some times.
