Who am I

I love games and the gaming industry, but more than that I love building worlds for players to explore and enjoy, I have been building game worlds most of my life, as a writer, a game publisher, a storyteller and now as a game developer. My greatest enjoyment comes from others enjoying the worlds i created for them. Its who I am and will continue to be in everything i do.
