Bio
The typical career path: went to school for acting, moved to Chicago to join Second City but ended up with a full-fledged stand-up career across North America from 1980-1986. When my comedy partner and her husband became pregnant, we had to end the act (she couldn't spend 5-7 nights a week in smoke-filled nightclubs and comedy clubs). I went into advertising by day, games journalism and beta-testing by night. After 4 years, and a lot of (apparently) very useful beta reports and insightful game writing, I was hired as a Junior Producer by Sierra On-Line. Within a year, I had moved to the head of Product Design. Worked for Sierra for four golden years, then to Legend Entertainment, and since then, I've written, designed, produced, and/or performed in nearly 50 games, mostly computer adventure games, but strategy games, children's games, and even board games (including two editions of Trivial Pursuit).
