Russell Aasland

Russell grew up playing board and computer games. In high school he found that not only could he make video games, but that he enjoyed it quite a bit too. He attended the DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, Washington and earned a bachelors degree in Real Time Interactive Simulation (a fancy phrase for game programming). Russell then landed this sweet gig in Illinois and moved over halfway across the country to work here. And while he would never actually take over the world, he does enjoy playing at it on his computer.
