I have an aversion to writing about myself in the third person. It's abnormal and impersonal, so at the risk of sounding like an amatuer, I'm going to stick with the familiar.

Born circa 1972. I currently reside in Bellevue—just across the water from Seattle—with my lovely wife, Sherry, our dog Argus, and three cats who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent.

I have worked in the game industry since 1995 as an artist and art director. I worked for Five Rings Publishing as the art director of the Legend of the Five Rings CCG, and by FASA, inc. as a staff illustrator and concept artist. I also spent a year at Wizards of the Coast art directing Magic: the Gathering, and another three years as the lead concept designer and illustrator for Magic.

I now own Privateer Press with Brian Snoddy and Mike McVey. In addition to running the day to day operations of the company, I am the creative director for the Iron Kingdoms setting and game designer of the WARMACHINE tabletop miniatures game. Almost all of my efforts go into this exciting venture at this time. It's a wild ride, and where it is headed, nobody knows!
