Team Challenge Mentor
Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America

Health
Inspired and motivated by my then 8-year-old son's diagnosis of ulcerative colitis in 2014, I started running and fundraising for Team Challenge, the endurance racing team for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). With almost $15,000 raised over my first 2 seasons, I was asked to be a fundraising mentor and worked with other members of the team to maximize fundraising efforts. That group of 5 team members raised over $30,000 in a single season and in 2019 my personal fundraising…

It is an honor to run with such inspiring people to support a great cause.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong
"This is a game that transcends its name and should be spoken of in the same breath as the genre’s best." 4.5/5 - HardcoreGamer.com (http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2015/08/20/review-shadowrun-hong-kong/163437/)

Nanovor Evolution
A browser-based F2P Unity3D-driven MMO sequel to the original Nanovor online creature collection/battle game. "Nanovor Evolution is a huge improvement over the original Nanovor. It offers improved visuals, faster paced gameplay, and is more easily accessible since it now plays on a browser window. It’s still a simple game, aimed primarily at a younger audience." 3.5/5 MMO Hut

The Suffering
"True to its claim of action horror, The Suffering alternates between an atmospheric creep show and a full-on rampaging shooter...In a genre that's overrun with sequels and lame attempts at horror, The Suffering is a breath of fresh death rattle. The action is intense, the creatures are actually creepy, and the story does not shy away from truly macabre elements. One cannot say enough about the horrific world that's been created here." 8.5/10 IGN

MechAssault
3rd person action shooter set in the Battletech universe built for Xbox Live launch. "MechAssault is an action fan's dream game. It doesn't have all the options you'd want, but it does not get old. Every night I play MechAssault and every day I'm thinking about getting home so I can get in my mech again." 9.2/10 IGN

BATTLETECH

"A deep tactical wargame with strong fundamentals supporting a broadly successful campaign system....BattleTech's success at making you feel—and want to live with—the interesting consequences of each mission is its greatest achievement, and will hopefully have an influence on other developers working in this genre."- 85/100 PC Gamer (https://www.pcgamer.com/battletech-review/)
