Summary:
I pursue creativity of all kinds - art, music, programming, writing, etc. I love things that stimulate the imagination - particularly science.

Work:
I'm an exective creative consultant and R&D specialist for Activision. I work with them in a variety of ways to help achieve the highest quality on various games. In the process I work on game design, art, tech specs, concept pitches & refinement, production & pipeline, team structure and much more -- anything that helps achieve the most potent end result. Until July 2009 I was the Chief Creative Officer of Luxoflux - an Activision game development studio. I left to pursue to some personal projects and work with Activision on other things, but I've continued to stay in touch with the amazing crew at Luxo.

Family:
My wife is amazing! She's the most creative person I know and is a constant inspiration. She is always up to something cool!

Then there's my son. He's also super-cool and creative. He plays several music instruments - REALLY well - and is really smart and beyond all that he just a damn good kid.

Misc Cool Stuff:
What else? Well, I've always been interested in efficiency and encouraging sustainable living and progress. I'm fascinated by the science and gadgets involved in alternative energy. As of mid-08' we're getting all our power from a 30-panel solar array on our roof. It's an amazing feeling to know that I'm typing this message on a computer powered by energy falling out of the sky. Our system should be grabbing enough surplus energy to charge an electric car when I get around to buying or building one. So cool! =)
