Work History

I worked with Atari Melbourne House (now Krome Melbourne) on Test Drive Unlimited on PSP and PS2. Before that I traveled through Europe and also worked at Dick Smith Powerhouse.

Qualifications

I have a Batchelor of Communication (Digital Animation) from the University of New England – though I studied the ‘Digital Animation’ bit at JMC Academy in Melbourne.

Interests

Sport!! I love playing soccer / football / cricket (not all at the same time – though that would be fun…) I also love games (duh!)

Long Term Goals

Ultimately, I want to become a Producer / Head Designer and run my own studio.
Short term, I want to branch off into game / level design.

Favourite Games

G-Police (PSX), Adidas Power Soccer (PSX), Brian Lara Cricket (Mega Drive), Just Cause (360), Pro Evo Soccer, Soldier of Fortune 2, SWAT 4 (I’m not sucking up, I swear - SWAT was awesome.)

Why the Games Industry?

I can’t think of a more fun job then working on games, especially now that Next Gen is well and truly Now Gen.
