Summary
With a focus on immersive simulation and creative visualization for national defense and the intelligence community, I built CTI as a direct outgrowth of my work as Creative Director of the US Army’s Institute for Creative Technologies. In this pioneering “serious gaming” environment, I led the development of Full Spectrum Warrior, the first military application developed for the Xbox along with desktop applications Full Spectrum Command and Leader. My team captured the DoD 2006 Modeling & Simulation award for training with Every Soldier A Sensor Simulation. USJFCOM recognized another effort, the Joint Fires & Effects Trainer System as the highest-rated Close Air Support simulation trainer in the world. In 2008, I was appointed to the Naval Research Advisory Committee, advising the Secretary of the Navy on its research portfolio. I came to the defense industry following work in Hollywood studio production, producing and writing. Following several creative executive positions at Universal Television, I moved on to serve as a staff producer at Ron Howard’s Imagine Films. I am a member of the writers’ branch of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the Writers Guild of America and the Writers Guild of Canada. My recent work was recognized in the 2006 Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Triennial, Saul Wurman’s eg2006 conference and as a Visionary in Bruce Mau’s Massive Change exhibition.
