About

I create Narrative-Driven RPGs using Unreal Engine 5. I've been working in games for the past 16 years, starting with D&D campaigns and Word of Darkness Chronicles I would run at friendly neighborhoods games stores, right up until the state-of-the-art action games I have published using Epic Games' suite of tools. I have been honored to be a key member of the Gen Con staff since 2016. Gen Con is the world's largest and longest running tabletop gaming convention. Gen Con was founded Gary Gygax, one of the original creators of Dungeons & Dragons, and is now bigger today than the convention has ever been, becoming a multimillion-dollar business for which I'm proud to be the Information Technology Manager. I was inducted into the Unreal Fellowship for Worldbuilding in 2022 and later again awarded membership with the Unreal Fellowship for Animation in 2023. It is a privilege to be recognized by Epic Games as a leader and pioneer of using their technology for the advancement of Worldbuilding and Animation. This has provided me great access to some of the top talent in the fields of game development and cinematics, from whom I am consistently learning the latest techniques.
