About Me

When I was 3 years old I got an Atari 2600. Soon after my goal in life was to make video games. So in the name of "research" I played games of all types. My next system was an Apple IIc. I learned how to program BASIC on this computer. Around this time I spent mass quantities of my money on RPGs, mostly just reading through them and absorbing the rules. The NES was next, quickly followed by the Sega Master System, Gameboy, and Amiga. The Amiga opened up a new world of online communication and gameplay once I got my 300 baud modem. I finally jumped into the PC world with a 486 around the time I went to college.

Speaking of college, I attended Florida State University and received a BS in Computer Science. After graduating, I landed a job Blam! as a programmer in 1999. Soon thereafter I switched to a focus on design and worked at 3do, Shaba, and Factor 5 - all companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2008, I moved to Boston to work at Harmonix. My most recent games at Harmonix are Rock Band 2, Rock Band Unplugged, The Beatles Rock Band and Rock Band 3. I'm honored to have been able to talk at GDC with my coworker Jason Booth about the development of Rock Band 3's Pro Guitar feature.

I also have a ton of interests! Much of my time outside of game development is spent watching movies, reading, playing games, watching, listening or creating music, exploring the city, watching mma, or having a nice dinner with friends.
