DAVID MAXWELL
Bio

H e l l o

          My name is David Maxwell.  I was born in San Francisco and grew up in San Rafael, California.  I received a Computer Science Degree in programming at Colombian Basin College in Washington.  My first opportunity to enter the Gaming Industry was for LucasFilm Games as a Game Tester.  Since gaming has always been my passion I found my niche.  Three years later I was given responsibility for half the Missions in LucasArts Games X-Wing and then TIE Fighter.  Both games awarded “Game of the Year”.

          After taking a time off to be a full time single parent, I went back to school in order to update my software skills.  I took digital, animation and authorization courses at the College of Marin, mainly 3DMAX.  While attending, I was asked to develop and teach a Game Design class.  I’m now an Instructor in Game Design at College of Marin and DMA Stanford University.

          I’m also an Ultimate Gamer!!!  Want to play a nice game of chess???
