That is, that is correct. I, uh, I began my journey with Bungie about, three and a half years ago with the Bungie Foundation, with the boss over here. And just back in November, I had an opportunity to move over to the development side and much to Christine's chagrin, in my own, to be honest, I made the leap over to the development side and now I'm working on Marathon. That is awesome.
Here we are. Yeah, I mean, I actually haven't really stopped working at the Benji Foundation yet. I probably will never. Christina just keeps sliding me stuff under the table and under the door.
I'm going to give you two answers.
So I've played a lot of great like single player games, uh, over the past couple of years. Um, you know, I think I, I finally finished Ragnarok, uh, after a long hiatus. I've, I'm trying to make my way through all of Ghost of Tsushima. I've just been delaying it. Like they're kind of old at this point, but like I finally need to complete them. Yes. Um,
I think the game I keep coming... I'm a very competitive guy. I love shooters. I love winning. I love killing people in the game and standing over their dead bodies. So the game that I kind of go to, because I work a lot, so like... When I play my games now, it's quick fixes. It's like I want to be in and out, get that dopamine hit, and then move on with my day.
So I play a lot of Apex Legends, playing since the beginning. That is my dopamine hit. I drop in for a couple rounds. I hopefully come out with a dub or at least a couple top fives. And so I play way too much of that. Way too much. I will say a newer game that I've been begrudgingly hooked into, which I never – I hate mobile games. Like this is nothing – this is not for me. I hate the form factor.
I like screen.
If they're on my phone, I'm going to play them too much. We had an internal thing called Pentathlon, a competition back – when was that, December at this point?
And we were playing Bellatro. Oh, yeah. And I was like, what the hell is Bellatro? And I watched all these people trying to tell me about it. They're like, oh, it's like poker, but it's a roguelike.
I'm like, all right, whatever. Let me download it on my phone. $10, cool. Worst best decision I ever made.
i'm now like so addicted to this thing like i'll play it in bed before i sleep and i was like are you still playing your stupid game i'm like i'm not deleting it till i 100 it oh god it's gonna take a while so yeah i mean honestly it's a great game the design is phenomenal um it's so simple but it's so i'm addicted we just
It was the best. It was a genius marketing decision by far.
I mean, I go back to my days of Halo 3. Those are my heydays of Halo. He's talking our language now. It's the race to get the sword, man. Whoever gets that sword, you're just king. But if we're not talking about the sword, which I think everyone loves, sticky grenades. Oh, that's a good answer. Nothing's more satisfying than throwing a grenade, sticking some, and you're dead.
Yes, that was my first role at Bungie. I, unlike Christine, had wanted to work in games forever. Very intentional.
Um, yeah, I, I'm from New York. Uh, I, I studied finance in college and I thought I was going to work at traditional finance, you know, career. Um, and I was, I was working at a, at a bank on wall street for many years. Uh, and then my wife packed up, um, and said, sorry, she didn't pack up. They're still together.
Sorry. She took a job at Amazon and we packed up our one bedroom apartment in Manhattan and came out to Seattle right before the pandemic hit.
And so that was fall of 2019. And I was like, well, if I'm quitting my job because remote work doesn't exist in 2019, I'm coming to Seattle. I'm going to try to break into the gaming industry, what I've always wanted to do, because in New York, it just doesn't happen. It's really hard unless you're already in it. There's really just rock star out there.
So I tried to, I interviewed for like two years across every known studio, or really just applied, not much interview going on, because who's gonna hire some guy from finance background that's not applying for a finance role that wants to make video games?
But this role with the Bungie Foundation came across my computer screen one day, and they were looking for someone who had video game desires and interests and some nonprofit experience, and I had done some nonprofit stuff. through my work back in New York. And I was like, okay, yeah, this sounds great. Why not? And I wasn't really sure what the role was going to be like.
And I ended up getting the job and I fell in love with it. We've grown the Bungie Foundation so much over the past three plus years. The role I ended up working was definitely not what I was hired to do.
