I
graduated from Nottingham University with a degree in Computer Science
in 1996. I spent the following seven years writing console games for Gremlin Interactive and then Infogrames
(now Atari) in Sheffield, England. During this time I was lucky enough to be
able to contribute to a wide range of fun titles, as well as
leading the programming teams on
MicroMachines (PlayStation2, X-Box and
GameCube) and
Hogs of War (PlayStation).

Between
2003 and 2006, I undertook a full-time research PhD in the field of
"Games and Learning" within the Learning
Sciences Research Institute
at the University of Nottingham. I wrote a number of academic papers and
presented my research at national and international conferences. My
thesis was on the "The Effective Integration of Digital Games and
Learning Content".
