About Me

I am a Software Engineer III at the Electronic Arts - Tiburon studio in Orlando, FL. I have been working there since November 2005. I recently finished up NFL Blitz, an XBOX Live Arcade/PSN downloadable game for the 360 and PS3. I'm currently working as a Lead Software Engineer on an unannounced project/platform. You can see all of the games I've worked on during my time at Tiburon on the games page. You can find Tiburon's website here.

I have been working in the game industry for about 8 years now. I attended Full Sail, a school in Orlando, FL and took their Game Programming and Development course. I worked as a lab instructor at the school for about a year before getting my first game programming job. Prior to working for EA, I worked on a number of smaller games for a touch-screen game company in Philadelphia, PA called Merit Games. You can check out their website here. You can also see the games I worked on at Merit on the games page.

Aside from work, I enjoy playing sports (softball, basketball, golfing), traveling, jogging, poker, food, and spending time with my family and friends.

Side Projects

I work on side projects at home from time to time, and I've done some Facebook, XNA and iPhone work recently. Most of my programming side projects are game related. I also enjoy creating art and music, although I don't do it very often. I will post finished projects as I complete them on the projects page for view and/or download, so check them out if you get a chance.
