Son of a DEC/Samsung engineer. Mother was a psych major. Recipe for logical emotional chaos.
Grew up in Korea and the US. Back and forth every few years. Education for feeling comfortable in my own skin but never quite fitting in. and not caring
Lived in the most densely populated city on earth and then spent a few years in the most sparsely populated. Made me intensely aware of space and the pace of things.
Swore at a young age never to follow my father's steps into anything engineering or IT related. I was going to be a poet. Then my dad brought home the Rainbow 100. Which I promptly took apart and then put together again. Same with the Apple IIC (lusted after Amigas though and never took that apart).
Space War. My first love. Planetfall coming later. MUD's and BBS's capturing me and never letting me go foreshadowing my future.
Flash ahead to my first industry job: establishing Joymax's MMORPG Global Team to service Silkroad Online. Revelling in the Production, GM, business development, operational roles. Those MUD's never let go. And I thought I would take on the world with a Crayon.
Working for one of the first "online social communities/networks" Korean style at Freechal. VC funding Series B strategies. Global service architecting. Those BBS's never faded just morphed.
Went publisher-side with Webzen. Worked on APB. Worked on Red 5 Studios' project. Now a producer. Trying to verge the social with the multiplayer.
A pitstop on the way to better learn the business side and the management side with OGPlanet as a Project Manager. Acquisitions, product decisions. Licenses.
Finally taking a leap into a new unknown known. Entrepreneurship. Social. Mobile. virtual.
