I am an iOS and Mac app developer from Chicago, IL who created one of the first iPhone games back in 2007 before the SDK and AppStore was created. I have since continued to work full time on developing iPhone, iPad and Mac apps.

Other than being an iOS geek, I'm also a big game geek who has been writing FAQs, websites and guides for many video games since the early 90s. I currently run one of the longest running Mortal Kombat fansites The Realm of Mortal Kombat (aka TRMK).
