Here’s one way to describe what I do: I sit in front of a shiny box and press buttons until the lights on the shiny box please me. I was introduced to this concept at a tender age with the venerable VIC-20; at that point my fate was sealed. My quest for pleasing shiny lights has been aided by an inspirational high school teacher (thanks, Mr.
MacDonald!), a solid undergraduate education at the University of Waterloo, and a brief yet enlightening foray into the world of graduate studies at the University of Alberta.
I achieved my Master’s at U of A, but I also learned that academic research was not for me. My co-op experiences at Waterloo had given me a taste for industry and taught me that small companies are the best for me. Jobs followed: CodeBaby and WayTo, both small shops in Edmonton. I was introduced to the art of pressing buttons to make pleasing lights on tiny shiny boxes at CodeBaby, but the opportunity for such work did not come along again. However, one day in late 2009 I received a pretty random inquiry from one Jeremy Handel. Would I be interested in working with the iPhone, the shiniest tiny box that’s around these days?
I’ve been a part of Handelabra ever since, through the good times and the not-so-good times. I’m along for the ride with the re-born Handelabra Games, and it should be a great one!
