I started my career in software engineering at Boeing, coding network software on Macintoshes. That turned into technical consulting for A.P.D.A., Apple's early push to build developer support around their new platform. I next worked at Apple testing Macsbug, the Macintosh low-level debugger. I worked my way into application development on ResEdit, learning a lot about User Interface design from their internal UI group. I made a clean break from development tools to working on games at Sierra Online, where I ported and shipped 10 Mac games in two years. My engineering game work continued at Digital Pictures, Stormfront Studios, and 3DO. During this time I transitioned to two new skill sets, Windows programming, and game design. I also worked on console games at 3DO. Throughout my career I took advantage of time between jobs to build products that grew my skills. Little did I know this would eventually qualify me to start and run my own game development business. With several products shipped including three games and even a radio play, I look forward to growing my business with new products and consulting work. However, I consider independent work and employed work equally enjoyable. As much as I love an independent's freedom, I miss working with great teams on larger projects. Specialties: Directing a creative vision, doing the dirty work necessary, running a personal business, organizing workers, coding gameplay software at high and low levels, writing interactive narrative. My emphasis is interactive narrative design.
