Hi from Australia.

I am currently working for Irrational Games Canberra studio, finishing up on BioShock. I am also moonlighting as an external advisor/lead designer with the Polish studio, Gamelion, in my spare time. Previously, I worked as the QA Lead on the PS2 version of Test Drive Unlimited with Atari Melbourne house (now Krome Melbourne)

My ultimate short term goal is to obtain work as a environment or gameplay designer with a European based Games Studio (either Polish, Scandinavian or Western Europe) and continue to further my personal and professional education, while at the same time experiencing a little bit more of the world. The fact that 99% of really unique, ground-breaking and innovative games seem to be coming form Europe (especially Scandinavia) is also a factor.

Long term, I hope to work my way up to a producer/project lead position, and possibly, with a great deal of luck, I hope to one day open my own studio.

Game wise, I'm very much an action/shoot em up fan, with a healthy love of most sports games (except gridiron... I just cant work that sport out) I mainly play FPS's on my PC, and all other games on my 360 - you cant go past a mouse and keyboard for the ultimate fraggin experience

When I'm not gaming (which isnt often... I work in gaming, and I relax by gaming) I'm either out playing sport, or watching a movie... but mostly I'm working :)
