Charlie W

Sneaking into the industry during the "Great Internet Level Designer Zergling Rush" of 1997-98, Charlie has managed to keep everyone distracted long enough to never ask what exactly is under his hat.

He got his industry start making Build engine addons for Sunstorm Interactive and witnessed the birth of Deer Hunter first hand (it was about as ugly and awkward as the birth of a real deer). Mike Wardwell mistakenly accepted his application as a level designer to Ritual Entertainment where Charlie spent a year working on Sin before making the jump to his true calling as a professional Duke Nukem Forever developer in 1998. 8 years passed and many limbs were nearly lost, but eventually the time came where Charlie realized Mr. Nukem just wasn't going to commit and buy him that big diamond ring he had been hoping for. During the DNF era he acted as a Level Designer, Programmer, Game Designer, and Producer. Sometimes all at once. Now he's here to teach Gearbox the benefits of slow and steady wins the race as an Associate Producer on Aliens: Colonial Marines.

With 10 years of game development experience doing almost everything at least once except Animation... Charlie is now certain he has no idea what he's doing.

Charlie also loves to travel the world and thanks Google Earth for making that possible.
