Apres Ski is a first-person night skiing nightmare set in an abandoned ski resort, frozen in time. Legions of enemy Shadows will test your reflexes as you carve through Pharos Ridge, while a variety of puzzles and brainteasers award potent equipment upgrades and formidable attachments to those brave enough to explore the resort’s crumbling depths.

If there’s anything 15 years of professional web development has taught me it’s that technologies come and go, but what gets built lasts forever. In building web apps for the military, the employment industry, sales and marketing, and cybersecurity, my work has propelled the ever constant march of what people can do with technology, but more importantly it has provided stepping stones for others to build from a significantly stronger position. So at this point in my career I find myself asking “what do I really want to build” - and the answer is what it always has been: games.
Everything I’ve ever built has been driven by games. It is this passion that carried me through my Computer Science courses and became the sole contributor to my professional success. Now it’s time to bring my expertise to the game industry, an expertise that has been carefully shaped by developing and deploying secure applications to the web in a multitude of languages with a variety of technologies. In addition, my personal Unity projects have pushed my competence beyond web development, giving me a unique toolset to draw from as I approach the challenges that my team will face. There are no limits to what my technology-agnostic passion can achieve.
