By day, I am an iOS developer. I've been creating iPhone applications since my sophomore year of college, when I was living in the dorms at the University of Pittsburgh, looking for something more interesting to do than homework. I've created several apps, including Clik, which was sherlocked by iOS's Notification Center, and PensPoints, twice, because a new screen size meant new design specs.

By night, I am a Co-founder and Jack-of-all-trades of MegaBits. MegaBits is a monster training game that is played in the real world. It's a retro-style game that mirrors the gameplay style of some of my favorite childhood games, but it's played on the iPhone using map APIs, weather APIs, and GPS to use the real world as the game world. Oh, and it's an MMO. In fact, it's the first Augmented Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Game for the iPhone.

In my free time (lol) I like to write songs on my Fender Telecaster and socialize with the startup community around the General Pittsburgh Area.
