In 1998 I acquired a position at Tres Media Group Inc. as an Internet programmer. As an active musician, I have an ear for audio and was able to offer my skills editing and mixing. When I wasn’t busy developing websites, I invested my time learning such tools as Adobe Photoshop and Lightwave for 3D modeling and animation. Later, I would become a partner and vice president.While with Tres Media Group, I continued working in my family’s business, Guilfoyle Associates, filing personal income tax returns primarily for local residents within the Tri-State area.At this time, computer games were becoming more mainstream and I took an interest in how they were developed. After producing some of my own modifications, I released an online compendium of tutorials. Now widely known in the modding community, MODSonline.com offers assistance and education to over 100,000 members for games including Quake, Half-Life and Call of Duty.MODSonline led to a weekly podcast, MODSonair. Since July 2005, I've been hosting and producing a weekly live program about games and technology.Seeking an authority on game modding, Wiley Publishing Inc. contracted me in 2005 to write a book.
