My passion is in video games as a hobby, career and family time. My early years were in industrial RND and that is where I established most of my engineering fundamentals. The majority of my career now is in game development and branching out into different innovative ways of engagement and entertainment. Call it a game, call it the metaverse, or call it an interactive toy; I enjoy innovating and pioneering new forms of entertainment. Now I can add Bricks and toys to the list. Regardless, it is the intentions that make the difference and where values are created. For me, that is about creating emerging ways of engagement for any individual to find enjoyment. What is life if we do not have fun along the way?

I have nearly 20 years of quality assurance experience, as well as leadership/training in the Video Game Industry. I have also been a supervisor/trainer in customer service/food service positions. I have recently been trying to add skills by searching for positions outside of the video game industry. I’m very coachable, and love to learn new methodologies. I am well versed in regression testing, Jira, end to end testing, test case creation and management. I have management experience, and have coached my direct reports to success.
