I'm a member of StepWood Productions, LLC. I currently lead the development and design of Galactic Usurper, our turn based space strategy game. I worked in a AAA studio for about two years and worked on a few notable titles. I've worked on "projects" in the game industry since I was 10, and love the freedom that being an independent developer gives me. I work as a software engineer during the day in a non-game related industry. Therefore, I only have nights and weekends to do any heavy lifting towards my games.
