Condor, Inc. Prior to co-founding
Flagship Studios in 2003, he spent the seven years as both President for
Blizzard North and as a Director of
Blizzard Entertainment. As a member of numerous internal and external project oversight teams, he brought a unique vision and understanding of design and technology to Blizzard’s games, especially the
Diablo series.

After Flagship started to close down in July 2008, it was announced in October of the same year that he had joined
