Courtney, or Court, has loved video games ever since he was able to hold a controller. Designing games, writing stories, and making art all hold a special appeal for him as a way to connect with others and express oneself without limitations. Throughout his varied and extensive career, from machine technician to character creator to lead game designer and more, Court’s goal has been to engage people and bring them together – and, ultimately, to share his passion and skills with his students and touch lives around the world.

In his free time, he enjoys going to the gym, watching movies, making art, and spending time with family.
