Biography
After 5 years at Oberlin College and Conservatory (BM/MMT) and 5 years of teaching I stumbled into games. 12 years in this freakin' industry and it seems I'll never learn. I equate finishing a game with women having a child (hear me out ladies) in the sense that if we actually remembered how painful it was we would never ever do it again. But here I am a couple dozen titles (and two children) later and still enjoying myself. Props to my wife, Seattle actress Heather Hawkins, and two beautiful children for putting up with all the gaming (it's research guys!) and long hours.
