Recently I started feeling that I'm at the point where I am actually starting to get somewhere with my life. I left school as I had always been trying to balance working full time, and rising in the ranks with school and now I've finally reached the point in my work life where I am happy to stop schooling for now. Before I left I was studying Political Science, and had been considering the State Department for work.

I have traveled quite a bit of the world and done some amazing things. When I was younger I spent all day working on cars with my father, who restores classic, 1940's and earlier cars. This gave me a horrible taste for nice things and that has driven me heavily in my work life.

I tend to get along quite well with everyone I meet and never really have an issue clicking with a group. I have an ear for music (and perfect pitch!), an eye for shooting (used to be in IPSC), and my feet feel fantastic in a pair of hockey skates (I play pickup hockey when I can).

Currently I'm a LA-based consulting for companies and ad agencies who want to move into or produce mobile content. I tend to focus on iPhone, Android and Blackberry but do work on other platforms as well. In addition to consulting I offer my services as a Producer for everything from pre-production to submission. I spent a lot of time overseeing projects from start to finish as well. My work has been dragging me lately to San Fran, Seattle and New York.

Before that I was the head of Mobile Development at one of the top iPhone/Mac studios in the world. There is a fantastic chance you've played one of my games. I am now working my wonderful business charm to bring those games and apps onto other platforms such as blackberry, android, and windows mobile.

Before that I was an Operations Manager at a top 5 world mobile game publisher, which was merged and shut down by a company whose name now rhymes with BctivisionAlizzard. I started there as a Coordinator (Entry Level) and dragged myself up to a Department Manager in less then two years. It's what has made me so glad to be in gaming.

When I'm not working I teach jazz to elementary school students as part of an after-school program and non-profit org run by a former music teacher of mine. I also sit on their board of directors, as I have been working with them for 13 years.

For some reason I've been listening to Flight of the Conchords a lot lately. Which is where my new "Describe yourself" came from. The actual line is, "Who organized all my ex-girlfriends from the past into a choir and got them to sing?"

Also I've been researching my favorite Radiohead song (Nude, from In Rainbows).
In the original version it contained the line, "She stands stark naked and she beckons you, to bed. Don't go you'll only want to come back again."
Later on it became, "She kisses you with tongues and pulls you to, the bed. Don't go you'll only want to come back again."
In the CD version, it contains none of these lines, which I think sucks, I really liked either version and thought it made the song.

Fit ice skates, hockey and ginger ale in there somewhere please.

Eating at restaurants I have just recently been able to afford to eat at.

I ice skate almost every day if I can, I work remotely and have finished many a deal from the rink.

You think I'm worth a little time, I'd enjoy talking with you either way.
