For six months, in 2005-2006, he lived in Washington state, near the Oregon border, where he worked as a technical writer and started development of a new text game, called Necromundus.
He now lives in North Carolina, working for Icarus Studios as a writer on their Fallen Earth MMORPG project. He's also in the process of developing the successor to OtherSpace, called OtherSpace: Millennium, which goes live in June 2008.
