I've been developing audio for games since 1996. I got my start at Sierra Entertainment right out of college, and I stayed there for 7 years. After Sierra, I worked as an Audio Lead at Microsoft. In 2004 I moved to Shanghai to take a position with the French company Ubisoft, where I remained through August 2008. Over the years I've also collaborated with Gearbox Software, Troika Games, Massive Entertainment, Escape Factory, Relic Entertainment, ArenaNet, Red Rocket, Hidden Path Entertainment, and Harmonix. I currently work as a Senior Audio Lead at Bungie.

Since starting in games, I've done just about every task related to audio, and even some that aren't really, like lip syncing. At first I focused on content creation, designing sound effects, writing music, and editing dialog. Gradually I became more involved in audio system design, working with the other functional departments on a game development team to work out deployment mechanisms for sounds. Most recently it's been my job to figure out where all of the sounds in a game should come from, oversee production and integration, and basically ensure the overall audio quality, while continuing to compose.

Probably the most famous bit of game audio I've created is the Sierra Studios splash screen sound. This little 16 second or so video (graphics by Jeff Lane) played at the start-up of just about every Sierra game between 1998 and 2001, so it will be quite familiar to fans of the first Half-Life, for example.

Below is a list of my most interesting game activities. I've also worked on numerous promotional trailers, prototypes, and other miscellaneous projects.
