Biography edit · view history
Originally from Long Island, NY, Dave originally became interested in computers when he got his first Commodore 64 and typed "Do you have Knight Rider in your system?". While the results of that first foray were dubious, he quickly became entranced with the magical entertainment devices buried in those little 5 1/4" floppy disks. Dave spent 4 excellent years at The University of Illinois, and along the way met Mark Allender, then an employee at Volition.
Dave has been with Volition since 1997, and has worked on Descent: Freespace Silent Threat, Freespace 2, Summoner PS2, Red Faction PS2, and Red Faction PC.
In his spare time, Dave enjoys playing video games, starting programming projects that never get finished, and thinking of ways to make PS2 devkits meet a violent demise.
