First and foremost I am a gamer. I’ll be dating myself, but I started playing video games so long ago that the TRS-80 was the computer of the time. Once I got bit by the gaming bug, I cut my teeth on and worked my way up through the Commodore VIC 20, then the C64, then the various commodore Amiga models and finally on to my very first PC when Wing Commander came out (along with every console I could get my hands on as they came out). I’ve watched the industry grow up from crude text games made in peoples’ bedrooms and garages into this massive monster of an industry where many game budgets are not far away from Hollywood sci-fi movie budgets and take entire teams of individuals years to make.

Before entering into the game industry I spent over six years traveling the world with the military, from Tokyo to Hong Kong to the Seoul, South Korea and other points all over Asia to most of the countries in Central and South America and even served in the Gulf War in the 1990’s. After that I spent nearly a decade as a Letter Carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, that’s a mail man to the “normal” people. ;) Through all those travels and over all those years, I was always close to gaming and video games. They quite simply latched on to me at an early age in a way I’d have never imagined.

Eventually, somehow, I found myself actually “in” the game development industry. :P

Getting close to five years now, I think. ;)
