Michael's work experience began at Looking Glass Technologies. He found himself in a roomful of MIT grads whose favorite game was "who's the smartest person in the room." Many artists might have felt intimidated, but luckily, his dad worked for IBM so computer jargon didn't scare him. He started asking questions, and it helped him get work on System Shock and Flight Unlimited.

He also worked for 3DO in California, developing games for Playstation, Game Boy and Nintendo. Demo Reels

Insight

Out of enthusiasm, I began asking the other artists about their work and giving (unsolicited) advice on solving their problems. One day, they got together and moved my desk away from the rest of the group. The lesson learned - be smart and enthusiastic, but remember to listen too.

Insight

My wife and I recently visited our alma mater. When we stopped by the local bakery we found the same old woman who had been behind the counter when we were in school. She said she'd been working in the store for thirty years now, selling whole-wheat donuts. When I gently asked her if she planned to retire, she told me that when you find something that you enjoy, there's no reason to quit just because people think you look old. "I'll feel old when people stop shopping in my store," she said and smiled as we paid for our lunch.
