He started in the games industry as a software engineer at Manley & Associates in 1995. When the company was acquired by Electronic Arts in 1996 and renamed EA Seattle, he continued working there until it was closed in 2002, and then moved to EA Canada in December 2002. During his tenure at EA he has been mainly involved with the Need for Speed series.
