In my 20 years of experience in the games industry I have been involved in nearly every aspect of game development. I’ve taken on roles from programmer to designer to producer. I’ve even created the occasional art asset. However, the biggest asset that I bring to a team is my creative problem solving ability. That creativity was utilized in helping bring 1st Playable Productions from a startup to an established independent developer over my 14 year tenure there. I am currently a Chief Programmer at Velan Studios, a startup game studio dedicated to creating revolutionary gameplay experiences.

Outside of game development, I have been involved in martial arts for close to two decades. I’ve earned black belts in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do. I also enjoy skiing, kayaking and family time!
