For F.E.A.R. 2 I designed Revolver and Dredge, two fast paced multiplayer environments. Both were created with special attention focused on fluid connectivity and rewarding aggressive and smart game play. I worked meticulously to create spaces that could grow with the player, offer challenges and replayability at any experience level.

After F.E.A.R. 2 released, I took the lead designing the first downloadable content package (DLC) for the game. With a barebones team I created two of the three multiplayer environments that made up the first DLC, the Miniature Replica Soldiers Map Pack. These two Levels, FullTilt and Cockroach focused on fun lighthearted themes while retaining the action packed game play that is the hallmark of the franchise.

Moving forward, I designed the multiplayer level Conductor for the second DLC installment, the Armored Front Map Pack. A large roundhouse centered along a train line, Conductor capitalizes on the gritty nature of a worn industrial district to create a vicious crossfire challenging players in team based combat.

Throughout my work on F.E.A.R. 2 at Monolith, I loved the freedom I was given to work on environments that truly express the type of game play I enjoy - From concept to completion, working every step of the way, to ensure the layout, mechanics and art all combined to create environments I feel are truly fun!

From 2006 to 2008 I worked as a Senior Level Designer at Monolith Productions spearheading the design of the multiplayer component of Condemned 2: Bloodshot.

From the start of production I focused a small team creating the different multiplayer game modes including the critically acclaimed forensic and team oriented Crime Scene.

A first person action thriller, Bloodshot focuses on melee combat, forensic investigation and chilling horror. The multiplayer modes take advantage of these features providing an intense head to head experience on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

As a present to my older brother on his birthday, I created for him a complete Half-Life modification named Big Lolly!

Big Lolly is a Single and Multiplayer mod based on a candy-dreamworld. You encounter new creatures and weapons as you battle your way to the candy treasure!

Surely a unique and enjoyable experience for any player!

This single player Half-Life mission was created in response to a level design test I was given by a gaming company during my interview process with them.

I was allowed 7 days to complete the entire project which consisted of: A complete single player mission revolving around a given story line, new models weapons and creatures, all new textures and sprites, new sounds and a custom single player interface.

A very exciting mission, which was even more fun to build!

Caged is a level which was designed for Project: Quantum Leap, a single-player Half-Life mission pack. The goal of the project was to create an experience where the player went from one single-player map to the next, each by a different designer, without a consistent theme or storyline, (much like the television show Quantum Leap).

Caged sets the player deep inside the cell block of a maximum security prison. The mission features a rich balance between combat and puzzle, challenging the player through out their escape!

Urban Nights is a map included in the Mod The Specialists. It is a huge map set in a large urban environment. Gameplay flows from city streets to building rooftops. Not only is the level completely unique in the world of Half-Life design, but it came together graphically, stylistically and most importantly in its game play. Few things come close to the 32 player deathmatch games I've had in Urban Nights. The level was initially released with The Specialists v2.0.

Fireball is a map for the Quake1-themed Half-Life mod Deathmatch Clasic. The level follows all of the themes of classic multiplayer gaming.

The map is tailored toward tightly-knit and action-packed FAST gameplay. Fireball has beautiful visuals and effects while including fun features like super-secret areas!

Rapidtransit is a defusion map for the Counter-Strike modification of Half-Life. The level takes place in a subway station, and it features good action-packed gameplay with a lot of fun elements to keep every game fun and unique.

I worked as a level designer at 2015 inc. on Men of Valor from approximately October 2003 to October of 2004.

In essence, Men of Valor is a first person shooter which takes place during the Vietnam War. It is available for the PC and Xbox, and features a strong single player and co-op campaign. The game includes multiplayer support for up to 24 players on-line - from standard deathmatch to objective based gameplay.

During production, I put a lot of time into scripting very immersive environments for the player. Designing the rich jungles and urban areas was a blast... I will always have fond memories of Men of Valor, I made some really good friends while working on the project.

Firepower is an unreleased cooperative multiplayer project between two other designers, a number of artists and myself. We utilized Doom3 to create a battle scarred financial district in the center of a large furturistic city.

The sheer scale of the project was what intrested me the most about firepower. Creating such a large open environment in a bsp based engine was a wonderful challenge, and developing special scripts for some of the more advanced features of the level was a real treat!

Some of my first experience with the Doom3 engine was designing a furturistic data center named NovaLight. Digging in to the new technology I got a great taste for all the wonderful things taht could be done with the powerful shader and scripting system.

I developed some complex scripts for the central data sphere which was in constant rotation and came apart very similar to a jigsaw-puzzle. The art-deco theme came together very well with the rich colors and dynamic lighting.
