Bio 

Utilizing the skills and disciplines learned in the military has allowed me to transition from developer to management. The ability to manage people in an environment where 'quitting' is not an option forced me to learn to resolve issues in productive and creative ways which has been a powerful management tool ever since. Internet developer since 1995, Social Media and Marketing Director. Created and run Off Duty Gamers (www.offdutygamers.com) which is focused on video game industry news, reviews and consulting.
