I've been interested in this thing we now call 'UX' all the way back to the Long, Long Ago Times of the early 90s.
​
My Dad, an engineer, had computers and modems lying around the house since I can remember, and kids like me were using all that cutting-edge technology for chatting and playing Door games on BBSes. The Internet was just being born, and of course having read Neuromancer and Snow Crash, I knew the sky was going to be the limit.
​
So I went off to school and learned about how to build websites, which to me was a perfect synthesis of everything I loved--art, design, innovation and problem-solving.
​
After working as a freelance web developer for a couple of years, I started working at EA in 2006. Making video games was my literal childhood dream, and it's amazing to be living it.

Games is a fascinating place to be working on UX. We get to mess around with all kinds of things you simply can't do in many other places. Whether it's solving one-of-a-kind problems like the usability of calling football plays, or experimenting with the UI of the future in virtual reality.

I've had a lot of thoughts over the years that I hope to share in blog format on this site. In the meantime, thanks for looking me up and feel free to drop me a line sometime, especially if you love to geek out over interaction design the way I do!
