Spokane, Washington, United States
I’m the founder and CEO of Nerd Ninjas, a full-service co-development game studio working across PC, mobile, and XR. I grew the studio from one person to 75 (with zero layoffs), and that journey shaped how I lead and what I value: building partnerships people trust and creating standout games in a studio that's built to last. Nerd Ninjas partners with publishers, platform holders, and IP owners to support live games and co-develop ambitious titles. Our team has worked with world renowned companies & IP (such as contributing to Niantic & Pokémon GO for 9+ years). We focus on co-development, live ops, and full-cycle production where clarity, excellence, and long-term thinking matter. I’m also the cofounder and lead game designer at Dice Throne Inc (where we raised $13.2M+ on Kickstarter), the cofounder of Op Digital Media, and a part owner, key advisor, and board member at Stimagz. I'm deeply committed to building something worth believing in, earning trust the hard way, and doing meaningful work with people who take pride in how they show up.
Nerd Ninjas is a fully remote, fast-paced, multi-disciplinary team of creative professionals who believe in working hard and playing harder.
