He got a job writing software at the age of 17 writing music and sound-effects for the BBC machine for a company run by the "Micro User" magazine company.<ref name=":2" />

In 1984, he wrote the music for a game a friend of his wrote.This game later was published by Ocean. They were very impressed by his work, so they loaned him a C64, a datasette, and an assembler and said: "Let's see what your able to do...".<ref name=":1">Happy Computer issue 11/86</ref>

In February of 1985 he signed a contract as a programmer at Ocean Software,<ref name=":1" /> which he eventually quit due to the lack of help while had 5 games ahead of him sometimes.<ref name=":2" />

He came to Austin in 1988 as a contractor, to help develop Times of Lore, for which he also got involved in game programming again.<ref name=":2" />

In 1990 he returned permanently to work as StarCitizen:Origin Systems Audio Director, where he was less involved with music than he used to be due to qualified members such for example StarCitizen:George Oldziey. He became more involved with dialogue, which hadn't existed in the 80's. From scriptwriting, to directing actors, to editing the dialogue later and processing it to get a good clear sound in the game.<ref name=":2" />

He joined StarCitizen:Digital Anvil shortly after it was founded in 1996 and was responsible for the audio on all of their games.

He has an on-screen screen credit in the Wing Commander movie.
