David Anderson is now Senior Director of Software Engineering at Corbis in Seattle, WA, USA. He is married with 2 children. Since, leaving Scotland in 1997, he has lived in Singapore, Ireland, Texas and Kansas before settling in Washington State in 2002.

He left the games industry in 1991 and has held various (mostly) management positions in startup and large Fortune 100 companies since then.
