Biography edit · view history
In 2003, Rick Ellis works for Valve as Senior Engineering Lead.
After years of managing embedded hardware and software projects in the communications and emulation industries, Rick constructed a team that is currently the broadband group at Valve. He has spent nearly six years with the group trying to decide if herding this group of engineers is easier than simultaneously holding on to six greased cats. The last time anyone saw Rick (it's rumored he wanders the hallways in a type of lobotomized stupor) he was asked if he ever figured out how the cats differed from the team and his comment was, "Yes, the cats were sane. Now where was I going again?"
