I am a Technical Director and Product Designer with over 20 years of experience working in game development and systems engineering. Having spent multiple years in nearly every discipline of game and application development I come uniquely qualified to design and build teams of highly functioning game developers and design the tools required to make them successful. As Director of Product Development and subsequently as VP of Engineering at HTX Labs I grew a team of VR serious game developers and using modern work practices like SAFe, Lean, Extreme Programming, Agile, Design Thinking and Value Streams transformed the company into the leading VR training tools developer for the Air Force and Navy, outcompeting deeply entrenched DOD contractors and well-funded startups alike. Most importantly, I put in place a series of processes and policies that create a culture of finding, growing and elevating employees with a focus on career and personal growth while at the company. During my time as Lead Server Engineer at 6ft Games I lead a talented team of server engineers building technologies that have propelled multiple games and companies to success. Above all else I value honesty and transparency and, in all ways, strive to build teams and cultures that support that.
