My passion for creating and playing video games goes back to my early life as a child growing up in Dublin, Ireland. I taught myself programming on an old Atari 8-bit computer, inevitably going on to study Computer Science at university and later a career in the video games industry. To this day I feel very lucky to be able to say that I love what I do for a living!

I try to play every major video game release, and my all-time favourites include StarCraft, Super Mario 64, Ico, Half Life 2 and the Metal Gear Solid series.

I'm vegetarian, and particularly enjoy Indian food. I'm a fan of Woody Allen movies, and my favourite author is Flann O'Brien. I'm also a bit of a comedy geek (favourites include The Goon Show and Monty Python) and I love soul and funk music (Prince, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Parliament Funkadelic etc).

I currently live in Edinburgh, Scotland with my wife and my daughter. I love cold weather, a warm pub, and great conversation!
