I followed in my brother’s footsteps and went to the University of Massachusetts Amherst for computer science.

After graduating, I got a job as a software engineer and worked my way up to a senior solutions consultant in tech sales.
4.
While working in tech sales, my brother and I were designing our video game on the side.
5.
After about a decade of working both jobs, I wanted to transition to game design full time and was able to convince my brother to do so after attending a gaming convention.
6.
My brother and I co-founded Decoy Games and are now full-time indie game developers.
