Hi!  

 

Thanks for taking the time to come and explore my portfolio.  I'm a Game Designer in Madison, WI who's been in the gaming industry for almost 20 years.  I've been playing games my entire life on every conceivable system I could get my hands on...I love, live and breathe the stuff.

​

Originally from the land of beer, cheese and Harley's...Milwaukee, WI (Go Pack!), my love for games and designing was born from spending unhealthy amounts of time with my friends in classic arcades, playing Dungeons & Dragons and debating the finer points of sci-fi cinema and comics. 

​

Eventually, I made the decision to pursue a career in Game Design and left my entire world behind to move to Orlando, FL so I could get formally educated.  After graduating in 2005, I joined EA as a QA Tester where I quickly worked my way up into a full time Designer position.  Making games was a dream come true and I still to this day am thankful for the opportunities and experiences I've been given.

​

Today, I'm constantly looking for and feeding myself new information about the latest theories, notions and trends around not only design, but all aspects of our industry.  The way it constantly changes and evolves is fascinating to me and one of the things that keeps me completely enamored with the field.  Outside of work, I try to engage with my peers at design workshops like Project Horseshoe or by attending industry events like GDC.  Recently I've been trying to get back into my programming roots and have been getting comfortable with using C# in both Unity and UE5.

​

I'm always looking for new people to meet and exchange ideas, so feel free to drop me a line sometime, especially if you love to geek out over design the way I do!
