GAME WRITING PORTFOLIO
I was raised in an arcade and weened on Zaxxon. It was a strip mall joint called “OZ," and I was the luckiest kid in town because my dad owned it. Sometimes, I'd open up shop with him and stay until closing time. The chunky 8-bit sound of game cabinets cycling up before customers arrived is burned into my brain. I grew up with interactive narratives, and games are the reason I am a writer.
