Patrick "P_Rick" Schwalbe
Job Title:
Producer
What do I do?
I create websites, produce 3D animations, and comp together video made from 3D animations. I occasionally come in to work early and then won’t leave for a few days.
What's the coolest thing about Ghost?
That would be the couch I get to take naps on, which helps out a lot when I am pulling all-nighters. Oh, and the peeps are really fun to hang out with too. They really are. I am sure you’re going to hear that a lot if you read the rest of the bios, but they aren’t kidding. I have worked a fair few jobs in this industry and out of it. I told myself that when I grew up I would work doing what I love. Well, computer animation meets that criterion but I also get the added bonus of being close friends with my coworkers.
What do I do when I'm not working?
I have a motto, “Make sure that, whatever you do, have fun.” That includes spending time with my family or hanging out with friends, or anything whatsoever. I am currently writing a sci-fi novel (that is definitely fun) we’ll see how that turns out. I’ve never written a book before. I am very excited about it and have high hopes that people will actually read it some day in the far future. I love Nintendo, Zelda is my fav, and so I play that one the most. I draw occasionally and, when I have the time, I sleep. Some would say that I have an unhealthy obsession with audio books. I find them fun. When the life I am living does not involve fun, like doing dishes, or driving long distances, (basically the things I have to do that are grating on my soul), I pop in an audio book; I am perfectly contented for long hours doing mundane tasks. It definitely works for me.
My story:
I showed up at ghOst one day and never left 'til they gave me money. I left for a 2-year stint and then came back 'cause I couldn't stay away.
