    Hello all,
    Well, it's been a great ride, but everything comes to an end, and for me, that time has come. I have had a blast working on the Ghost Recon franchise for the better part of the past five years, in roles from Assistant Designer on GR:IT Xbox on up to Creative Director on GRAW2 360. It's been great both designing the games and interacting with the community. GR has a great bunch of fans, ones that won't hesitate to give their opinions (often, and loudly!).

    Working at RSE and Ubisoft has been one of the most exciting experiences of my life, and I've learned a ton (often from mistakes ), but for various reasons, I've decided to move on to something different. I'll be picking up stakes and moving out to the Pacific Northwest, where I've accepted a Design Lead position at Bungie. I'm an Alaskan boy, so the pine trees of Washington are a bit more appealing to me than the oaks in North Carolina (and 70 degree heat index beats 105 in my book ).

    I'm still a GR and R6 fan (as I always have been), so don't be surprised if you see me lurking around on Live (I still gotta get that Ultimate Defender achievement!). Meanwhile, keep an eye out for Jeff "Geridak" Mcgann and Chris "Braybot" Bray, Designers at Red Storm; they will be scouring the forums now for your feedback instead of me.

    Thanks,
    --------------------------

    Sorry to see you go christian. Wish you all the best with the new job. Hopefully they will get you working on a tactical shooter. It'll be hard for you getting use to a company that actually allows you to talk to the community lol

    I can say with hand on heart that this is a sad day for Ghost Recon. You have been at the forefront of this franchise for so long. And with you gone i feel Ghost Recon has lost any hope of getting back to its great gameplay. Casual gameplay is here to stay
