I’m a graduate of the University of Chicago, a lapsed PhD candidate at NYU (where I studied racial bias in police shoot/don’t shoot decisions), and an instructor at the Alpha Workshop for Young Writers. I worked with Bungie Studios, creators of Marathon_and _Halo, to write item descriptions and much of the Grimoire fiction companion for Destiny. _My favorite contribution to _Destiny is the Book of Sorrows in The Taken King. In my dwindling spare time I’m a designer and writer on the Blue Planet (warning: video link) project for FreeSpace Open.
