About Me


Working from coffee shops, bookstores, food courts, hotel rooms and anywhere in between, all of my game development takes place anywhere other than the confines of a stuffy office. I strive to keep my surroundings casual with a fresh look so as to not stiffle creativity.

History

I started my programming career in 1981 while still in High School learning first on the TRS-80 (like many of the time) and then I bought my Atari 800 in 1982. From there I went through the hard-core ritual of learning Assembly Language, the only way to do 'real' programming on a micro computer. I followed up with the Amiga in 1986 while doing some programming on an Apple II. I later moved on to the PC, first learning DOS and then Windows. Though I had picked up some C programming skills, I continued with Assembly, even learning to do Windows/DirectX programming.

All of my programming has been self-taught and while I did do some programming on a main-frame using JCL/RPG, I have spent most of my professional career in IT. I have done it all at one time or another, building my own PCs and tinkering with electronics to networking to simple PC deployment in the workplace. But I finally decided it was time for a change and I needed to start putting my programming knowledge to work doing something that I enjoy. And while I have always wanted to be my own boss, I have always wanted to publish games. This stems from the fact I am a Sci-Fi and cartoon freak and knowing I would probably never be working in the Film/TV industry, I could do something I like better and thats making games.
