I am the Lead Game Designer at Zynga Boston, before that I worked as a gameplay engineer at Conduit Labs (which was acquired by Zynga in August 2010). In 2009 I graduated from the Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center. While I was there I worked on a project called Active-Adventure where we attempted to create a new generation of exercise game (more can be found here: www.activeadventuregame.com). The game we created during the project, called Winds of Orbis, was a 2009 IGF Student Finalist and has received high acclaims elsewhere. During the summer of 2008 I worked for Walt Disney Imagineering in the Creative Technology Group. I also have an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and love to help teach game design at several universities in the Boston area.
