Principal Producer / Lead Producer / Tech Producer

A gamer who turned his passion into a career, tempered in the fires of the games industry. Since 2008 I've worked as a moderator, tester, localization specialist, designer, caster, TV host, marketer and — most recently — lecturer. Today I build teams that ship work leaving a lasting mark on the industry.

I currently serve as a seasoned Principal Producer with a holistic approach to game production. I started out as a gamer who reshaped his passions into a career, hardened by the flames of the gaming industry.

My career began in 2008, and since then I've worked in various roles: moderator, tester, localization specialist, designer, caster, TV host, marketing and community manager and — more recently — lecturer. Every one of these roles helped me gather the knowledge and experience I now use to build my own unique path in the industry.

I'm on a mission to help build a team that will deliver a project which leaves a lasting mark on the industry and contributes, culturally, to those who come after.
