Biography

I am a game designer and writer who believes story and narrative deserve an important spot in any game. I have always enjoyed experiencing the new RPG on the market, or reading the newest bestseller on the fantasy wall at the bookstore. I've lived in a fantasy world, but imagined it would always be only that — a fantasy.

I grew up in London, Ontario, and earned a degree in English and Classical Studies at the University of Western Ontario. I know what you're thinking — what do you do with a BA in English? Well, an opportunity to study Game Design at the Vancouver Film School solved that problem, and allowed me to express my creative ideas and gain a better understanding of story in games. The fantasy became reality.

To date I've created many different projects, each with a focus on an area of game design that I'm interested in. Game Design, Level Design, Narrative Design, Art, Cinematics, Lighting, and Music — I have an appreciation and a passion for pretty much every creative aspect of the industry, and I'm constantly developing my talents to showcase and demonstrate my skills. A job in any of these fields is on the horizons for me in the year to come.

Site Role

My primary contribution to the site is the site design. Now that SEMO will be rebranding, I am currently working closely with Chris to create a good design for the new home. While most of my time these days is sucked up by game design, I was also a prolific reviewer at SEMO for several years. I was also the supervisor for arrangements submissions before this section was removed from the site.
