About Me


      My game development journey started way back in middle school staying up late modding Crysis and Glest. This passion grew and grew with my spending slightly too much time working on overambitious game projects over the years.


      Over time I developed a particular set of skills that got me in the door with multiple small indie teams. With time, I developed friends and connections and worked my way forward.


These days I'm a proud father of 3 boys and I work mainly as a Lead Software Developer and Technical Artist for Blue Meridian! They're a passionate bunch working on an innovative dinosaur park building game.

I may also be found working on visual effects, animations and simulations!
