Hi, I'm Shawn - a games executive and lifelong gamer, currently living in Germany. I've worked almost exclusively on MMOs for 20 years as a Designer and Producer, because I love the communities and sense of togetherness they create. I'm currently working on a new indie "classic style" MMO, inspired by EQ, MUDs, and Pen & Paper RPGS. Follow our progress at MonstersandMemories.com and on our streams at Twitch/aLovingRobot. My past roles: EP & Chief Product Officer - Star Stable Online Senior Live Producer - Dark Orbit Production/Design - Wizard101, Pirate101; "Unannounced 3rd MMO" Lead Content Designer - DC Universe Online Lead Game Designer - EverQuest: Planes of Power, LDoN, LoY, Omens Game Designer - EverQuest: Shadows of Luclin Design Apprentice - EverQuest: Scars of Velious Customer Service - EverQuest Live
