The Great White North

After four years, and four games I finally managed to take my first vacation from Raven and headed back to both Toronto and Vancouver to see friends and family this Christmas. I even hooked up with a bunch of the fellas from DKP (now Starz Animation) for a night out and a few pints.


It was great to be back in Canada and fill up on all the things you can't get in Wisconsin : Tim Horton's, Poutine, real Chinese food, the Leafs, the Raptors, Canadian Television, and good Maple syrup. But I have to admit that I found it strange to be surrounded by so many people again. After living for the past four years in a city of six hundred thousand, Toronto's three million took a little getting used too.

As I mentioned earlier, I managed to hook up with the fellas at Finn McCools, and threw back a few Guiness and Tequilla. It was great to see Sean, Fabris , Damer, Chadwick Von Licktenstien, Craig Barr (possibly the funniest guy on the planet) and Morch make it out. Hopefully we can do it all again in the summer.

first blog

Well I finally got the blog up and running. Here is a quick update:
I'm still working at Ravensoft / Activision in sunny Madison Wisconsin and having a blast. We finished up Marvel Ultimate Alliance about 5 months ago and are now rolling on a new project. I'm pretty excited to be cranking on this title and I think players are going to love it.

Over X-mas I managed to get up home to Canada to see family and friends, and had a blast. I spent a few days out west in Vancouver and the rest of the 2 weeks in Toronto. I'll see if I can track down some pics over the next few days.
