Chad's not only a great, talented art lead, but he's connected enough with the "business side" of games to keep an eye on the big picture. He understands what consumers look for in a great game experience and can easily juggle art needs with usability and game design. He's highly detail-oriented - every part of the game will get scrutinized by his eyes - and best of all he's easy to talk to and work with. Chad's a leader I'd happily work with again!

You should jump at the chance to work Chad! I know I would. I had the pleasure of working with Chad on Gears & Guts and two prototype projects at Glu Mobile's Kirkland studio. Gears & Guts was a particular challenge -- an open game world with hundreds of characters running on mobile devices, and hundreds of content options. Chad provided artistic and design leadership and managed internal and overseas outsourced resources. Moreover, he handled the constantly shuffling priorities with aplomb. I would recommend Chad for art leadership roles in any mobile or console project.

Chad is a highly disciplined, remarkably detail-oriented art lead with the rare combination of a sharp eye for visual style and the organizational skills to manage the scale of production required by modern game development. He handled the significant demands of our work at Glu with aplomb, and could always be counted on lead his team above and beyond in all aspects of our project's artistic execution.
