I enjoy my wife, exciting challenges, change. I don’t have any real hobbies, the time outside of work is for family and friends.

Something that moves me and makes me cry.

What would you like to see in a game?
When I’m in the creative doldrums, my colleagues help me out with inspiring thoughts and suggestions, so, in that regard, things work quite well at the moment. How long I can keep coming up with fresh, new styles and ideas, as a composer, before it all starts to sound the same... good question. I hope I still have a few years left  .
