In his own words- My background is in literature, theater, and screenwriting where I first began to learn the craft of storytelling. During my 11+ years in the triple-A videogame industry I've expanded my skillset to also cover to narrative design and IP- and franchise development, and I'm keenly aware of the challenges posed by games as a storytelling medium. I enjoy telling stories through all kinds of media. Each presents its own set of unique challenges and opportunities and the more I learn about the craft, the more humbled I am by its potential to affect and transform an audience.
