Summary:
I\'m a rockstar codemonkey. Been writing code since age 8 and have a Masters in it. Love of video games sent me there and kept me coming back. That said, as my experience in all areas of production increases, i\'m more drawn to the Directorial role.

I love making games. I love writing code. I love creating. Everyone in my family is an artist, so i\'m the technical black sheep, but I have a deep appreciation for art, architecture, style, aesthetics and storytelling. I have a degree in music composition.

Generally a jack of all trades. Although I\'ve spent the last decade really focusing on the code area of things, you have to pay the bills somehow. I believe that a great Director needs a love, appreciation and understanding for all aspects of the game development process including the people and the property. I maintain a healthy optimism that there will always be a place in the industry for the original creators as that is what drives the rest of the crap that gets made, the me-toos and sequels.
