About Me
David Andrew Wiebe graduated from Rocky Mountain College in 2002 with a Certificate in Discipleship. He's been teaching guitar and exploring his passion for the creative arts ever since.
Born in Canada and raised in Japan, Wiebe has a diverse background from which to draw upon. From kindergarten to Jr. High, he attended public school and became fluent in Japanese. At the time, one of his favorite forms of artistic expression was drawing and writing Japanese comics (better known as 'manga'), taking influence from his favorite manga and video games for inspiration.
Having grown up at the epicenter of technological advancement, Wiebe had the chance to enjoy all the latest gaming consoles and video games before they were ever released in North America and other countries. Like any self-respecting kid, he took full advantage of this opportunity.
His love for movies and creative writing began to take shape when his family returned to Canada in 1997. In Japan it was a rarity for Wiebe to go to the theatre because there were very few in proximity, and ticket prices were outrageous. In Canada, however, movie theatres were commonplace, and ticket prices were reasonable (at the time).
Reading articles, books and reviews has been Wiebe's primary source of inspiration for writing. He was fascinated by Science Fiction and Fantasy for a time, but his interest has turned to Christian Self-Development and Inspirational books. He considers himself a Christ follower, and has the desire to see his peers rise to new levels and to help them reach their goals in life.
Favorite Games: Riven, Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Super Mario World, Tony Hawk series, Final Fantasy VI, Dragon Quest V, Dragon Quest VI, Portal
Favorite Movies: The Aviator, The Matrix, Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, Wayne's World, Wayne's World 2, Donnie Darko, Back to the Future, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, Lost in Translation, Gone in 60 Seconds, This is Spinal Tap, Ray Contact Me
