My name is Mark Walker, and I am originally from Niles, MI. After high school, I moved out to Tempe, AZ to pursue my dreams as a game programmer. I attended the University of Advancing Technology (UAT), where I earned a Bachelor's in Software Engineering, and also found the beautiful woman whom I soon hope to call my wife. Since then we've moved to Long Beach, CA, to be closer to our industry. My favorite past time is, of course, playing computer games. My passion is for RPGs, and when I was younger, I dreamed of one day being able to work for (the now defunct) Black Isle. Their games, including Fallout and Baldur's Gate, still rank among the best RPGs ever in my book, and I would love to see the franchise continued. Apart from that, I have also developed a liking for rhythm games, including DDR and Guitar Hero.
