Bio

I have been proudly working in sales for the past fifteen years. Early in my career, I gained experience in the fields of advertising, magazine publishing, telephony and audio recording.

In 1993, I got my first taste of the entertainment software business as a marketing consultant and buyer for American Software & Hardware Distributors, Inc. in Urbana, IL. During my four years at ASHD, I helped them earn millions of dollars, and I also got to know lots of great people on the publishing side. One of the best was Alexander Seropian, co-founder of Bungie Software, who asked me to join the Bungie family as director of sales early in 1997. I was the first and only person ever to hold that position. We created some terrific, ground-breaking games (Marathon Trilogy, Myth series, Oni, Halo) and finally built the company into a "must-have" acquisition for Microsoft.

Since then, I've helped launch the "new" MacPlay for United Developers and the BOLD games label for Destineer Studios.

I now live quite happily in the Chicago area with my wife Margaret and our children Katie and Daniel.
