Summary:

I cut my teeth as the Marketing Director (glorified ad sales guy) for a small magazine publisher called Oakley Publishing which nurtured the well loved bi-monthly Programmer's Journal into a monthly publication and we aquired the quarterly, C Gazzette and launched Windows Tech Journal. This was when Borland developer tools ruled, object oriented programming was novel, BBSs were the norm, the web hadn't been launched yet, Windows 3.0 was slowly being adopted and Bill Gates still keynoted the Software Developers Conference.

I then worked on the distribution side in the k-12 educational software channel as Sales & Marketing Director for Learning Services. Then 15 years ago I started a design firm with my wife called Thin Air Design and I took on some contract work for Dynamix taking The Even More Incredible Machine into the educational channel. Our firm developed a number of web sites for Dynamix including Hunter Hunted, Golf, Ski Racing, Outpost 2, Minigolf, and the early development sites for Starsiege & Tribes team, before the web development process was taken in-house.

Additionally, I helped bring all the Sierra educational games into the educational channel assisting with channel relations, curriculum development and packaging. Then came the opportunity to work with Jeff to evangelize Driver Education '98 & '99 where we taught teens to drive using a simulator rather than a motorized killing machine.

Along the way I've started and done a DPO for a healthy fast food restaurant - everything from franchise marketing to location analysis. I've helped found 2 non-profits and acted as board membeor or president on three of them.

I currently am on the Casual Games Association Advisory Board and contribute to the steering committee of the IGDA Online SIG as well as the Casual Games SIG whitepaper.
