WELCOME

Currently living in London after spending over a decade between the Bay Area and Europe with my wife and 3 children. I'm a Gamer, a Founder, and a Creator. There is nothing I enjoy more than creating true, deep, immersive digital experiences that bring players delight. I love my Family, France, Football and Food (and alliteration).

​

My values and things you should know about me:

• I greatly value simplicity and authenticity

• I am problem centric, this does not mean I am negative. I think of myself as an optimist, but through the lens of the challenges between where I am and where I want to be

• I am an open book, sometimes too much so, I believe in Radical Candor

• I am a strong believer of the golden rule: Treat others as I would like to be treated

• My Favourite books (that I reference often in conversations):

  • 7 Spiritual Laws of Success 

  • The Mindful Athlete

  • Atomic Habits

  • Nudge

  • Sapiens

• I love Games, and specifically game making. There is nothing quite like the call and response of world class game design

• “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face” Is something that constantly rings true to me. The ability to adapt quickly to new information is a hugely underrated skill

• I am fiercely loyal, and find no better reward than seeing others excel. I’m constantly trying to make myself redundant

• Our company values are mine too, you can find them here

​

The things you can expect from me:

• Change my mind, reasonably often but with conviction. Ignore sunk costs

• Back up those changes with logic, and challenge with transparency any “local maxima” thinking that may be hindering

• Being adaptable and very open to new ways of thinking

• Ask of you things that may seem impossible, as Ernest Hemmingway said :"Success is defined by people who make impossible possible”

• Quote people often to make a point ;)

• Be self deprecating, focus on the challenges not the wins but be undyingly supportive in the journey of others

• If I ask you "how are you doing?" I expect an authentic answer and don't accept one word answers. We're very complex creatures with a wide variety of emotions, experiences etc. If I'm asking, I truly want to know
