I'm a game programmer and author living in Brooklyn. Link overload commence!

By the numbers: Five shipped AAA video games, with work on three more that were cancelled during development - an all too-common fate in the game industry!

Two published books (4.5 and 5 star Amazon ratings), nine published articles (including two in the first Game Programming Gems), and a few interviews and articles for the best game development site around - gamedev.net.

Two-time GDC speaker, one-time IGF finalist - the puzzle game Quaternion.

Four published cell phone apps - BREW back in the day, more recently iOS and Android. My flagship is Don't Dial, as seen on TechCrunch and the Today Show (scroll down and watch the video, my app's at about 0:40).

I grew up in a suburb of Denver - Arvada, CO (made famous by The Website Is Down!)

If you want to cyber-stalk me, here's some good starting places:

Please don't kill me in my sleep. Thanks!
