User Bio

I started out as a Software Etc. (now GamStop) retail guy when I was a teenager. In my early 20’s, I worked for Origin Systems, Inc. in the QA dept. where I worked on games like Alpha Centauri, Ultima Online, and Ultima 9: Ascension. Making my own games has always been a passion for me though. My first short adventure game was called “The Quest”, and was a text adventure on the TI-994A. By the time I left Origin, I had designed dozens of little game demos, and at that point I set about creating my first “shareware” game, called Shadow Of The Lost Citadel (google it and you’ll find reviews).

Since then, I actually moved to a career in film, founding Odyssee Pictures, and have written/directed my own films including my supernatural horror film Domain Of The Damned, and my upcoming teen “smasher” movie Sweatshop. I have also worked on films like The Flesh Keeper, Closet Space, Walking Distance and Imago as cinematographer and/or Visual Effects Supervisor.Still, games have always beckoned, and I am currently working on some big stuff behind the scenes. In the mean time, I am really enjoying the Han Solo project as a way to learn the ins and outs of Adventure Game Studio’s proprietary language, and to just get my head back into adventure games again.

I have always been an avid gamer, and a collector of home game systems and arcade machines and PCBs. Some of my favorite games of all time include Space Quest III and IV, King’s Quest VI, Fate of Atlantis, Full Throttle and The Dig (and that’s saying a lot, because I love games in just about every genre).
