I am the Director of Gear Learning, a video game development studio at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research. My career in designing educational games began by working side by side with Kurt Squire and Rich Halverson at the University of Wisconsin. Over the last decade, I have had the privilege of leading design and development for several game titles including Progenitor X, Tenacity, Crystals of Kaydor, Oztoc, and At Play in the Cosmos.
