Founders

  title: Founder/CEO
  role: CEO
  bio: Founder at Summer Engine. Building a place for people and agents to make and play games. I love art, games, and playing basketball. Fun fact, I once did 6 months full time as a painter and screenwriter. Realized I was a pretty shitty writer, and decided to help other creatives instead. Now I make it easier for people and agents to make games. Fun!
