My first introduction to IF was with cassette tapes on my Atari 800 and my dad and his friends playing Scott Adams’ “Ghost Town”. Anyway, long story short, I became fascinated with computers and created my first text adventure in BASIC based on the TV show Miami Vice back then, although the thing was entirely hard coded as I really did not know what I was doing.

Since then, I have completed degrees in computer science and have been teaching and making modern video games for the past 12 years at a community college. Recently I wanted to return to my roots and spend more time on narrative design and less on 3D world creation. Rather than write my own parser, I have pulled an old book on Inform-7 off of the book shelf in my office and have taken the dive.
