I have 20+ years of game design experience working almost exclusively on AAA shooters, over half at the Director level. Most recently I was the Creative Director at NantGames for seven years, releasing MythWalker, a unique and innovate geolocation RPG as my first foray outside of AAA FPS games. Previously I was the Gameplay Director at Infinity Ward and Campaign Lead Designer at 343 Industries. I used to work on Call of Duty as a Lead Designer back in the Treyarch days and am mostly known for the creation of Nazi Zombies, or as some call it “CoD Zombies.” Before I went pro, I was a modder which is how I got into this crazy mess called the “games industry.” I still sometimes mod games under pseudonyms.

I like game design and game development. I play an endless amount of games. I have opinions about games and the game industry. Some opinions you will agree with. Some you won’t. Sometimes I write about things not related to games. It’s all good.

What else is there to know? I have a degree in computer science and a masters in teaching. Now I’m an an inventor with my name on patents. A very long time ago I used to be a high school teacher but the whole getting up at 5 in the morning thing wasn’t my style.
