Biography

I was born and raised in Trinidad & Tobago, where my mother was head of the computer science department of Fatima College; thus began my love affair with computers. Video games in particular have sparked my interest, simply because I see them as being a new medium in story telling. Today, movies are the best medium we have for story telling, but I believe this will change (and is changing right now). Whereas movies force you to see the story from a certain perspective, and from a certain angle, video games allow you to 'live' the adventure yourself.

As a story teller at heart, I am very enthusiastic about the design and development of video games because I forsee some of the greatest stories being enjoyed through a controller.
