I’m a production and development leader with 20+ years of experience shipping complex AAA and AA products across multi‑team and multi‑studio environments. I’ve spent most of my career helping teams turn ambitious creative goals into predictable, on‑time delivery — especially in high‑pressure, high‑visibility situations.
I’ve led production on titles like Alan Wake, Quantum Break, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, and most recently NUTMEG! (2026), where I served as Development Director and shipped with strong critical reception and full milestone delivery. My work sits at the intersection of product, people, and execution: building production systems that scale, making early trade‑offs to protect quality and schedule, and bringing clarity when things feel chaotic.
I tend to be most useful to senior ICs, leads, and managers who are stepping into bigger responsibility — or teams that are struggling with predictability, alignment, or decision‑making under pressure. I’m calm, direct, and practical. I won’t overwhelm you with frameworks, but I will help you think clearly, structure problems, and make better calls earlier.
If you’re building or shipping something where delivery really matters — and want an experienced outside perspective to help you navigate the hard parts — I’m happy to help.
