Greetings, my full name is Alexander James Begg, born October 30, 1985 (1985-10-30) (age 22). I am a visual effects/motion graphics artist, animator, and producer. I am doing freelance work at a TV/film visual effects/design place in Hollywood.

I am a Wikipedian since October 25, 2004.

I have my own Wiki on the future development in the Los Angeles area at la.wikia.com

[edit] Mini-biography

I grew up in La Puente, California, I am an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America, and member of the Order of the Arrow. I was on the front page of a local newspaper, Grand Marshal in a local city parade, and was in the 2005 Rose Parade marching with the Bob Hope Humor Trophy banner, in front of the Sesame Street-themed float.

I am now living in an apartment in the city of Los Angeles, next to Santa Monica.

[edit] Education

I attended High School for my first two years at Don Bosco Technical Institute in Rosemead, California, where I took one quarter each of Manufacturing, Graphic Communications, Electronics, and Computer Science. I took one year of Manufacturing after that. For my last two years I transfered to San Dimas High School [1], in San Dimas, California (which is featured in the movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1988) and the title of The Ataris song San Dimas High School Football Rules), and took an Animation class in the two years I was there.

I am currently attending The Art Institute of California - Los Angeles [2] (Wikipedia article for The Art Institutes made by me) in Santa Monica, California for a Bachelor of Science degree in Media Arts and Animation.
