Best Known for/Notable Works: Too many to list, but I guarantee you have played one of my games if you have been playing games.
Fun Fact: I am in love with board games as much as digital games, Abd dib’t get me started about Warhammer 40K, it’s the best. Warhammer is ****. 40K is the real deal, my kind of gritty dark depressing universe.
How did you make your break into the industry: By making Flash games for various websites and publishers.
Favourite Projects to have Worked on: Would by my first game, To the Moon. You probably can’t play it now with it being 10+ years old, even I can barely remember when I made it, but it’s there actually I found it being up on this one website it’s about a pig+bull who doesn’t fit in with other farm animals and moon is all he sees and wants to go there and be with his best friend.

Defining Career Moment: When I was asked to direct and make a big licensed IP game.
Throughout your career, of the many things you have since learned, is there anything you wish you knew at the beginning: That at the top of my career when I become a CEO, I need to separate and distinguish friendship, charity, and employees and not mix it. As it can bite back hard, everyone flips and wants to take everything you have, and all the legal stuff I wish I knew it and did it from the start.
If you had the opportunity to work with any IP, what would it be: Warhammer 40K Obviously! Haha.
Is there anyone you haven’t worked with yet, but would like to: Devolver Digital and Jan Willem Nijman.
