"I've been playing games since the N64 I grew up with in the 90's, and became enamored with creating them soon after.
My dream is to bring back as much passion, soul, quality, and fun into the game development industry that has been slowly dissipating over the last decade or so.
That is why I founded Byteback Studios."

"I still remember playing Mario Paint and Home Improvement back on my SNES. Swatting flies, oddly enough, in both games.
Final Fantasy X is my personal 'North Star.' When it came out I took off my football cleats forever and chased the elusive dream of creating something

Final Fantasy X is my personal 'North Star.' When it came out I took off my football cleats forever and chased the elusive dream of creating something that can move people. My personal motto is fun games are nurtured in a fun environment and that is exactly what we hope to accomplish at Byteback Studios."

"I began my game design journey at 17, cutting class to build deathmatch levels for my local LAN arcade back before I even knew level design was a real job. That was in the late 90s.
Since then, I’ve worked on everything from platformers and ARPGs to MMOs, VR epics, and co-op FPS games. At Byteback Stud

If it looks cool, I probably stayed up too late. I’m just an art guy ^_^"
