Senior Producer at TikGames
San Francisco Bay Area
Started in the Video Game Industry in 1993 as Technical Support Manager at Accolade. Worked my way up to Producer and was Producer/Designer on Test Drive 4, Test Drive 5 and Test Drive 6. Started the TransWorld brand at Infogrames/Atari after Accolade was bought by Infogrames/Atari. I was with Accolade/Infogrames for eight years.
After Infogrames moved to Santa Monica, I took on the roll of Executive Producer for a small UK developer, DarkBlack where I worked on a few titles before we committed suicide by boarding the good ship Acclaim. Was Producer at Empire Interactive where I oversaw the US launches of Big Mutha Truckers, Ghost Master and Starsky & Hutch. After Empire, signed on as Senior Producer at Tapwave where I helped launch Madden 2005 and MTX Mototrax. I also worked as Release Engineer for all titles and helped in the writing of game manuals.
After Tapwave, I signed on as Producer at InfoSpace. At InfoSpace I oversaw the production of Water Balloon Drop, Frogger For Prizes, Skeeball For Prizes and started the development of Take Yer Meds for Prizes. I built the art staff from the ground up in the San Mateo studio and was acting Art Director. I also oversaw the creation of InfoSpace Mobiles viral marketing programs, Tell-a-Friend and Frequent Player Points.
I am now a Senior Producer at TikGames in San Mateo.
Having been in the Game Industry for fourteen years now I am very familiar with the processes of each department in a video game company.
