I'm an accidental software engineer by education. But it was always the arts and entertainment that I was most passionate about. I currently work at Keen SW House as a Game Designer. I am a voracious reader and occasional writer who is enthralled by the mundane aspects of this wonderful planet. I'm happily married and enjoying the lovely joys of fatherhood at the moment.

I write occasionally about the things I feel most passionate about namely, books, movies, games, travel, and those little wonders that we sometimes miss when living our lives.
