Russ FanLead Game DesignerIndependent

Russ got into games because it was always in his DNA. He believes that everything in the world can be related back to games, and that there's a game out there for everyone. He got his start back in 2000, graduating with a degree in art, much to the chagrin of his parents. After a tumultuous time, he got his foot in the door doing QA at various companies, eventually landing at Glu Mobile (nee Sorrent) and transitioning to art. After a stint producing art for many of the early titles, he transitioned to Game Design, where he's been happily coming up with wild ideas for producers and engineers to roll their eyes at. His more recent accomplishments have included several Marvel and Star Wars titles, and Five Nights at Freddy's AR:Special Delivery, an augmented reality version of the FNAF franchise. Most recently, he's been happily working on educational games, channeling his expertise into learning.
