Updates Coming Soon!

Senior Level Designer @ From September 2014 to Present (1 year 2 months) Senior Level Designer @ I started working on Tomb Raider right at the end of pre-production and spent the following years making a major impact on one of the biggest and best games of 2013. I was the main level designer behind most of the game's 'set-piece' moments. The level where Lara is sliding down a river rapids and straight into a parachute glide through a thick forest (which was debuted during Microsoft's keynote of E3 2012) -- Yeah, that was mine. How about the level where Lara runs across a bridge that is being bombarded with mortar fire just to end up inside of a tower engulfed in flames before making a desperate jump to a hovering helicopter from a crumbling rooftop? Yep, that was mine too. I could also lay claim to a few more levels, but you get the idea that if it was a huge set-piece moment, it was probably my level. Due to the collaborative and iterative design process used at Crystal, I can say that I touched in some way about 95% of the levels in the entire game. From as little a minor bug fixing, to major bug fixing and feature implementation, it would be easier to list the levels that I hadn't done some work on. During the bulk of Tomb Raider, I was considered at the "Level Designer" position. As of 4/1/13, I was promoted to "Senior Level Designer" thanks to my work on the project. I worked in that capacity on Rise of The Tomb Raider for about a year. Note: six months of my time after we wrapped development on Tomb Raider and before work on the sequel, I worked on something else that I can't talk about. From May 2010 to September 2014 (4 years 5 months) Mission Designer @ From October 2009 to March 2010 (6 months) Game Designer @ Titles Completed: -- Cisco Mind Share (Not Rated - PC) Q1 2009 -- Alien Syndrome (Rated T - PSP, Wii) July 2007 -- Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Mermaids (Rated E - PS2) February 2008 Since joining the team at the awesome place that is TG, I've quickly climbed the ranks from level monkey (where I was responsible for over a dozen levels in Alien Syndrome) to the go-to mastermind for crazy and unique innovations in traditional game design. I have a knack for thinking outside of the cubical and I love to make sure that everyone else around hears of my ideas, a skill that I honed under the tutelage of the late, great, Erick Wujcik. I'm constantly looking for new ways to innovate within game design, something that my superiors at TG encouraged, and I love to marry different aspects from different genres to create unique and fun gameplay. From February 2006 to October 2008 (2 years 9 months) Level Designer @ Titles Completed: -- Ice Age 2: Arctic Slide (Mobile) November 2005 I came to work at the wonderful mobile-game-studio-formerly-known-as-Sorrent through an internship while attending college. I handled the bulk of the level design work for the title from the wee-early moments when the engine barely rendered anything, to the final moments of my last day with Glu when I found a serious bug while playing a 'final' build of the game on my train ride home. My time at Glu taught me a ton of useful skills and it was a great learning experience that I will cherish forever. My hats off to the team there that I worked with. From August 2005 to January 2006 (6 months)
