I joined the game business in 1989 as the photo and video director for Dynamix and later managed the art staff for games in the era of: A-10; Red Baron; FPS Football; Aces of the Pacific; Willy Beamish; and Betrayal at Krondor. Switching from art management to game design, I designed and produced or executive produced the Trophy Bass series of games and Trophy Rivers. I later spent about three years as a senior executive for Sierra during the days before and after they were acquired by Cendent

In 1998 I joined Electronic Arts as executive producer for their new line of outdoor games and later became the Executive Producer/GM of the EA-Seattle office. During that time I executive produced Championship Bass, Ultimate Hunt Challenge and Motor City Online.

In 2003 I joined Acclaim Entertainment as Executive Producer/GM of their Austin office where we completed NBA: JAM, All Star Baseball, and The Red Star.
