Print-Friendly Resume
Hunter is a resident nerd and former Park Ranger to a haunted mansion within Los Angeles county. Growing up, the ancient and mystical had always fascinated Hunter, that is probably why he found himself a student of archaeology and anthropology at UC Berkeley.
Rather than making a career out of uncovering the mysteries of the past, Hunter prefers to weave his own tales through roleplaying games like Pasts, Personas & Prophecies. His successful kickstarter guided him down a continued path in games where he eventually completed an MFA in Game Design at the New York Film Academy.
Inspired by history and the long dead cultures of the world, Hunter is frequently entranced by daydreams surrounding other realities outside our own and hopes to use these inspirations to inform his future designs.
