About
Bird's eye view
- Adventure, discovery, creativity. Risk-taker. I try not to get too attached, and I love a new perspective. Happiest when making things.
- Xenophile. 29 countries visited. Some years spent abroad. Periods in London, Busan, Chiang Mai, Prague. I get to know places through local food and drink.
- Slow thinker. Philosophy, public policy, literary criticism, game design. Iteration is key. I make connections while writing, editing, refactoring.
- Favorite things. Farmers markets, good stories, open fire cooking.
- Southerner in exile. I live in Seattle, but my family's been in the southeastern U.S. for at least ten generations. I left the South on purpose but enjoy visiting.
- D&D class: Wizard. Potentially magical. Little claim to cunning or physical prowess. I can learn most spells with enough study.
Mindset
The people I admire most lead multi-chapter lives. They are hard workers, mindful, and dynamic. They are motivated by their work itself rather than by specific outcomes. They change not only because their circumstances change but because their relationships with themselves change.
Communities
- Penn's Sunday School. A member of the congregation since 2012.
- Arnold's Pump Club. My personal trainer Is Numero Uno.
- Duckfeed.tv. The best games criticism this side of Anor Londo.
- Seattle Indies. An accessible and inclusive space for game developers.
Work
I've worked in politics in Washington, D.C., taught English in South Korea, and managed software developers in Seattle. Let's connect! I see my future at the intersection of writing, code, and game design.
