I'm the CEO / programmer / designer at Glass Bottom Games. In the past I've worked for LEGO on LEGO Universe and with various startups on various prototypes, like Idyllon. Before that was a possibly misspent youth of Duke 3D / Quake modding and mode13h pixel pushing.
Basically, I'm a nerd. But I also play Capoeira and do Yoga, so I'm a... graceful nerd? Hmm. |
