It was over for me when I saw the first Star Wars in a movie theater. My brain broke open, and I knew from then on I had to tell stories.

I trained as a journalist and was working in Seattle when I answered a Craigslist ad looking for a writer fluent in video games. I was then doing side work as a video game critic for MSNBC.com. I applied and, after a month and on the floor of PAX Prime, I got a phone call from a recruiter about my resume. The client was Microsoft Game Studios, and months later I was writing transmedia, dialogue, and item descriptions for Fable 2.

That was my invitation to run away and join the circus of game narrative. I've been ridiculously fortunate to work on a bunch of games at several studios around the world. I've also worked with some outrageously talented people from all walks of life. I've told stories for consoles, PC, and mobile, in AAA, indie, VR, and XR spaces, and even developed personalities and dialogue for Digital Humans.

What's exciting to me is we are starting to see what we can do with narrative in games. It's the only storytelling medium where the viewer is active, has agency and can experience a world instead of soaking it in through film, TV, stage, or novels. And I can't wait to tell more stories in this strange, exciting place.

Let's Work Together.
