My dad, Brad Jorgensen, died on August 13th, 2016 at 61 years old. He suffered intense pain radiating in his right arm for many days leading up to his death which was ultimately caused by a natural heart attack. (He thought he was so clever and funny when he sent me this bulldozer"mirror image" picture... At the time I rolled my eyes, but now I of course I love it.) It's taken me awhile to finally compile my thoughts. It may be a little sloppy, but bare with me if you intend to read further. I don't want you to know these thoughts of mine so you can feel sorry for me. I felt this was important to show you how much my dad has influenced me and my work. This is mainl understanding of what I did and what I plan to do going forward. y for all the LISA fans. I hope to give you a deeper I had started creating the main character of LISA under the assumption that the most important aspect of hinm My dad, Brad! But this goes way beyond just naming. The most crucial element to Brad Armstrong is that he will forever "push himself". This element was fully inspired by my dad I never understood how he could work so much, he was not like us normal humans...Even up until his final days he was building a huge garage on his property in Olathe, Colorado in +100° weather! At 61 years old!That's nothing though, just a taste of this madman. I swear, anytime he had free time to himself he would use it to help literally anyone that needed it. He'd fix anything in my house, fix anything on my car, fix things I didn't even know needed fixing, he helped me find financial help when creating my game and company. He even could fix ANY computer issue I had.. mean hey, I'm supposed to be the computer guy, right? Yet he was the man. A true renaissance man. owe everything I've ever accomplished to him. My brother and I would always goof on him for delivering his classic line, "push yourself! It was the one thing he always preached consistently... But by God if he didn't truly those two words. He pushed himself all the the same. Death was literally the only thing that could stop both these men from pushing ahead. The scars and dismemberment of Armstrong, the need to constantly overcome the hurdles of life, it was all an embodiment of wha Armstrong would be that he is a father. So naturally what pops in my head? way to the grave. Whether he was hurt inside, stressed, lost, it didn't matter. If something needed to be done he did it. Brad Armstrong w t my father meant to me. Only now after he's gone do I really realize how much my dad has inspired the heart and will of Brad So with that said, from this day forward I will no longer go by Dingaling, it was always a goof anyway... was named Austin Jorgensen by my mother and fa ther and I now see it a s a oint of great pride. Also, from this day forward my company name is LOVE BRAD. Whether it be games, music, or any other sort of media. It will be under the banner LOVE BRAD. is inspiration on me allowed LISA to be a success. I owe so much of it to him. And I will gladly give everything I have to pay it forward. I'm now more then ever looking forward to m creative future. I cannot wait to start working on NINJA TEARS. I will use this energy inside me to try my best to touch your souls like he touched mine I love you, Dad You were too damn hard working for this world, and I'll never fault you for it
