In February 2017, I co-founded mod.io and begun working on platform that gives studios a fully integrated mod solution for their games. We are pursuing this opportunity due to the rise of games-as-a-service, and emergence of significant new business models built around content. Content in games is a $30 billion dollar industry annually, and rapidly growing as studios explore new ways to give their players what they want. We strongly believe that empowering players to become content creators and building an ecosystem around their passion and creativity, will lead to the formation of massive new opportunities in the gaming industry. We are working hard to lead this charge by pushing boundaries and really rethinking the way games are created and consumed.

In June 2002, I developed and launched ModDB.com, a place for modders to share user generated content for many of the industries largest games. Today ModDB.com reaches over 5 million visitors monthly, is one of the largest and most respected developer communities in the world, and together with IndieDB.com has served over half a billion gamers since inception. From this project I learnt the importance of community and how to build an engaging and collaborative online experience. I learnt how impactful user generated content can be when creators are properly empowered, and how difficult it can be to scale from 0 to millions whilst maintaining a sense of belonging that makes our sites so loved by players and studios alike.

In July 2013, I joined Linden Lab's executive group as Director of Digital, following their acquisition of Desura of which I was CEO and co-founder. Today I oversee Desura's growth and expansion, and am leading the design and business development of a new SaaS product, which aims to offer game developers a new way to drive revenue and loyalty from their player base.

6 years after launching the ModDB.com and IndieDB.com communities for game developers, and in the midst of the 2008 global financial crisis, the idea for Desura was hatched. With marketing budgets slashed, digital distribution offered a way to directly monetize the millions of visitors ModDB.com and IndieDB.com reached at the time, and remove our dependency on advertising. As CEO and lead web developer, my aim was to create the leading digital distribution service, and put the best games, mods and downloadable content at gamer's fingertips. Following 2 years intensive development, Desura.com was launched. In 2013 Desura was acquired by Linden Lab, having sold over 1 million games to 300,000 customers.
