Bio/Research
Mike is an assistant professor in games and game design at Webster, joining the university in Fall 2018. He has been teaching at the university level for the last four years. Prior to that, Mike spent over 30 years in the game industry, working as a game designer and narrative designer.
He began his career in paper and board games, working on Dungeons & Dragons and AD&D games for TSR, among other RPGs and board games. While there, he co-designed the first AD&D Gold Box computer game, Pool of Radiance. That gave him the computer game bug and he left TSR to pursue a career in digital games. He worked as a freelancer for 10 years, designing and writing for games on the PC, Sega Genesis, NES, S-NES, Playstation, Xbox, and other platforms.
Mike spent almost ten years at Volition, a computer and video game development company, and later worked at Raven Software, Ubisoft Montreal, 38 Studios, and Zenimax Online. All told, he has worked on over 90 analog (paper and board) games and 40 computer and video games.
For the last few years, he has been teaching game design and narrative design to the next generation of game developers at several schools – the University of Texas at Dallas, Bradley University, George Mason University, Butler University, and Miami of Ohio. In 2018, he accepted a full-time faculty position in the game design program at Webster University.
