About Me

Born (Feb. 28th 1980) and raised in Utah. I graduated from Fremont High School in 1998. I got married to my beautiful wife Megan on May 3rd, 2003. In November of 2004 we moved to Orlando Florida for me to attend Full Sail Real World Education to pursue an Associate of Science in Computer Animation degree.

After returning to Utah I fairly quickly got a job as a 3D video game artist at a company in Orem Utah called, Wahoo Studios, Inc. As of this post date I have released two games: Outpost Kaloki X and Band of Bugs (both on the Xbox 360 Live Arcade). I also have 3 other yet to be released titles under my belt two of which will hopefully be coming out this year sometime.

In February of this year we found out that my wife was pregnant (yes it was planned... mostly...) with our first child. He is a boy due this October. The name we have chosen is Bridger Paul Wiggins. We are both very excited, the baby's room is already painted and I think we have more then enough clothes bought, and it's still about three months before he is scheduled to arrive.

Favorites:

Color: Gray (boring I know)
Drink: Dr. Pepper
Movies: This is actually a hard one for me. I like many, many movies. It's kind of what my wife and I like doing more then just about anything. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of my all-time favorites with Chronicles of Riddick being one of my guilty pleasures.
Video games: See above, but mostly I am hooked on Guitar Hero II (just finally beat Free Bird on expert tonight), God of War, Gears of War and Final Fantasy.
Books: The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings of course, Harry Potter and I get a lot of crap about this but I do enjoy the Wheel of Time series even though they can be really long and boring sometimes.

Sorry for such a long post about myself and most the people that are going to actually going to read this right now already know this, but whatever. :)

Thanks

-Jeffry Wiggins
