What have you been doing the past 20 years? Let's hear the highlights!

I've fallen in love. I've traveled, and read, and built a home, and danced, and sculpted, and studied, and learned and grown a lot. I've also gone on a mission to Colorado for the LDS church, and I've worked in the games, film, and simulation industries. But most of all, fell in love.

What was your happiest moment you can remember in high school?

I think it was probably that moment every day when I saw the girl I liked best!

What was your favorite class?

Pottery

Who was your favorite teacher?

Mike Carter

What would be your most compelling "do-over" moment in high school?

I would ask 2 particular girls out. I'd chase the ones that got away.

What was your favorite high school hangout?

My car. I loved just going exploring. Or detention. I did a lot of reading there!

What was your favorite high school trip?

Actually mine happened in College, and it was that time I spent a semester in Switzerland and Italy studying art, and just hiking and tooling around Lake Geneva, and ruins.

What was your favorite song in high school?

To Be With You, by Mr. Big

What was your favorite movie?

So I married an Ax Murderer

If I knew then, what I know now [fill in the blank]

I'd give myself a good smack, and tell myself to go have some fun, and stop being so uptight. I would have known 3 times as much. And I wouldn't have been shy. Plus, I would have invested in the Google IPO. And I would have gotten a haircut.

School Story:

Once, at band camp...

Comments:

I love learning more than almost anything except people, so it's odd that I wasn't interested in high school when I was there. Or people. At the time, mostly what I did at school was outside reading, and lurking in the library. I was way to young to be in a library full time! They should have carded me!

Where is the coolest place you've traveled?

Venice and Rome. It's an artist's dream, and it's beautiful.
Or for nature, I would say Lynn Canyon outside Vancouver. It's just a primeval beauty. I also went to October fest in Munich by accident once, and that was really fun! It's strange to be a sober guy among six hundred thousand drunk tourists, but it was a lot of fun anyway.

Have you had any encounters with fame or had your "15 minutes of fame?"

Not directly, but a lot of what I've worked on has been famous among men and boys, and notorious among their wives, girl friends, and mothers. That's the up and the down of the video games industry! Most recently, we released Twisted Metal for the PS3.

If you didn't do what you're currently doing in your profession or with your time, what else would you be doing?

I'd be an entrepreneur in the energy business. Or a physicist. Or I'd be wandering around the mountains in Europe somewhere.
