The year was 1984, the first Super Mario Brothers game had just been released in the United States, and Chaz was instantly hooked. As a child growing up in the small town of Cleveland, Ga, he always loved comic books and Saturday morning cartoons such as He-Man, Thunder Cats, and Mask. As he grew older, genres such as anime and video games occupied a more significant part of his attention and media consumption. His current goal is to occupy a role within the video game and/or film industry as a character or environment artist.
