About

I attended Cornell University, earning a Bachelor's degree in Evolution And Human Behavior. I didn't minor in anything, but if I had, it probably would have been something equally useless.

After graduation, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in being famous. Upon my arrival, I was informed that there were already enough famous people, and my services would not be needed.

Never one to be deterred, I enrolled in USC and earned a Master's degree in TV/Film Writing. "Now can I be famous?" I asked. "No, sorry," Los Angeles said. "But you can be unemployed, if you'd like."

Equipped with $200,000 in debt and zero marketable skills, I taught myself graphic design, PHP, MySQL, HTML5, CSS3, JS, UX, UI, NodeJS, and a bunch of other acronyms. Then I convinced some people that I know what all those letters mean.

Luckily for me, most companies looking for a designer or developer want someone who is unusually handsome, athletic, and charming. When they can't find anybody like that, they hire me instead.

I have 11+ years of experience developing, designing, and marketing web apps and sites from concept to completion. As Creative Director at Gaikai, I helped to launch their groundbreaking cloud gaming service, leading up to their acquisition by Sony Computer Entertainment for $380 million in July 2012. I'm currently their Director Of User Experience working on a project so secret, even I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm also the developer of StayFocusd, the popular Google Chrome productivity app.

I haven't had any spare time since 1994, but if I did, I would spend it writing screenplays, playing professional basketball, becoming the next great white rapper, and napping.
