I’m a game developer and results-driven executive with 30+ years of experience in the gaming industry, having worn many hats over the years: Co-Founder, CEO, General Manager, Executive Producer, Project Manager, and even Lead Artist. At my core, I’m an entrepreneur who loves building teams and creating games that people love to play.What keeps me excited to this day is using my hands-on experience to create and launch new game franchises across Mobile, AAA, Social, and Virtual Spaces. Whether at a scrappy startup or a mature, matrix-driven organization, I’ve honed my skills in creative direction, production, business operations, in-the-trenches development, publishing, and outsourcing. I take pride in leading by example, inspiring the small and large teams I’ve been lucky to work with.Throughout my career, I’ve built a strong track record of taking products from concept to completion and growing them through live operations. It still amazes me that I get to work on fun games with talented teams, creating experiences that reach millions of players.I’m passionate about game development—no matter the platform, genre, or size of the project. Building meaningful, long-term relationships has always been a priority for me, and I look forward to staying connected with old friends while making new ones along the way.Specialties: • Studio & Franchise Leadership: Building, creating, and managing AAA and mobile development studios and franchises.• Game Development Expertise: Skilled in mobile, social, and F2P project management and creative development.• Entrepreneurial Mindset: Co-founder of multiple successful game studios, with a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges involved in building and scaling businesses.• Visionary Execution: Driving creative visions from concept to completion.• F2P Monetization & LiveOps: Expertise in monetization strategies, LiveOps, and customer acquisition.• Team Leadership: Growing, mentoring, and maintaining high-performing teams.• Problem Solving: Decades of experience solving complex production and development challenges.• Business Management: Skilled in finance, budgeting, publishing, and marketing.• Innovative IP Creation: Experience in new IP creation, licensed development, and brand innovation.• Agile Methodologies: Proficient in Agile/Scrum development and training.
