I've been a gave developer since 1996 when I worked on the smash hit game "Wages of War" for New World Computing as a tester. Since then, I've worked as a game designer at New World Computing/3DO on the Might and Magic series, EA-LA on the Medal of Honor series, and a handful of startups including Jailed/JGI Entertainment, and Nival Interactive (US). Currently I'm working as Lead Designer at Spin Master Studios on the upcoming Action MMO Teck Deck Live.
