About Me
I started making games when I was 15 years old, teaching myself how to develop in Adobe Flash. I decided to pursue the game industry after my high school created its game design course after me. Since then I have filled in various roles in the as a festival organizer, college professor, and most noticeably game producer. My career has taken me from supporting indie games from Chicago all the way to producing Battlefield Mobile from the ground up with Electronic Arts (EA) in Los Angeles.
I'm currently building up my first game studio and developing an unannounced title. In my free time you can find me guest speaking about games, volunteering at events, and investing in new projects.
