I'm a freelance video game writer and story designer. I've worked for Sony, Sega, Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Zipper Interactive, Slant Six Games, Edge of Reality, SouthPeak Games, and 1C Company. My games include Cipher Complex, M.A.G. (Massive Action Game), Ghost Recon 4, SOCOM: Confrontation, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike, Rainbow Six: Lockdown, Ghost Recon 2, and two unannounced projects currently in development. In addition to writing dialogue, I've also created storylines, cast and directed voice actors, written and directed cinematics, and designed gameplay.
