I am a professor of games at Northeastern University in Boston.

I am an award-winning indie game designer, published scholar, tenured professor and I am an advocate for play throughout the entire lifespan. As games are very interdisciplinary, I feel at home and have published in many academic fields (e.g., communication science, media-psychology, cultural studies, gerontology, cognitive psychology, etc.) but my research and creative interests would be game design, games in later life, and the use of games for non-entertainment purposes.
