NILES SANKEY

In my earlier life, I spent a great deal of time catching and studying lizards in the Arizona desert where I grew up. This eventually lead to an interest in biology and from there, the study of genetics. During my college years, I got involved with amateur video game development and soon realized I wanted to create interactive games for a living. I changed my educational focus to "computer systems engineering", where I learned both hardware and software programming. My first job in the game industry was at a small company in Iowa where I met some of my best friends and colleagues that I still work with to this day.
