I'm a game designer, developer, and consultant who specializes in combat design. I'm the founder of DINOGOD, a game development studio in Phoenix, AZ. I am the director and designer of Bounty Star, which is slated for release in 2024 on multiple platforms.


I've been a professional video game developer since 2005, both as an in-house full time developer and as an out-of-house contractor, and I have shipped over 20 titles with studios such as Flashbang Studios, Red Bull, Team Meat, and Finji.


I've taught game design & production at local universities and technical schools, and offer combat design consultation to other game developers, such as Sony, Annapurna Interactive, and Slick Entertainment.
