I've been in the game business for about the last 12, 13 years. Prior to that, I was in the movie industry, which is how I came to know Chris Roberts. He hired me to come out for the live-action shoots for Wing Commander 3. They were sort of amazing, challenging, really intense and fun experiences, and so I hooked up with him for Wing Commander 4, worked with him on the Wing Commander movie, joined him at Digital Anvil for Freelancer, and then we kind of swapped careers and I stayed in games while Chris went to movies. And now we're back together.

How'd you get back together?

Well, I'd heard about Star Citizen, obviously, and had been talking to Chris and Eric Peterson over the last year or so as they got this up and running, and let them know that I was definitely really keen to join them again, and the opportunity arose and here I am.
