SHORT VERSION:
Was a game designer/programmer at LucasArts in the early years, now an iOS game & kids book app developer (using Corona SDK and Unity3D) and eco tech geek.
LONG VERSION:
I've been involved with new media and technology since my wife,
Annie, and I co-founded the world's first public-access microcomputer center in 1977.
Marin Computer Center was a prototype for bringing new technology to the public.
During my last two years at LucasArts David was Manager of Entertainment Software on Mirage (a collaboration between LucasArts and Hughes Aircraft Corporation). This multi-player, networked location-based entertainment system was intended for theme parks.
After leaving LucasArts, we launched
Electric Eggplant to continue working on multimedia projects. In 2010, we began creating story apps for iOS and Android devices. We have 2 apps on iOS, NOOK Color/Tablet and Kindle Fire:
Middle School Confidential 1: Be Confident in Who You Are and
Middle School Confidential 2: Real Friends vs. the Other Kind. We've also created two Read-it-to-me iBooks,
Are You My Friend? for 4–8 year-olds, and
People Are Like Lollipops for 3–7 year-olds. Check our our
Raymond and Sheila series (iBook, Kindle, and print), and Annie's new parenting book,
Teaching Kids to Be Good People (Kindle, print).
We’re now in production on the first official Rube Goldberg game, coming soon for mobile and desktop (
@RubeGoldbergApp).
When not playing with computers I enjoy science fiction, good films, photography, video making, and taking long walks with Annie through the hills of Marin County, California. We have two grown kids.
