Profile

I am a fifty-something pediatrician in California, soon to be an aviator. My busy life consists of seeing a lot of patients, learning to fly, exercising, and spending time with my dog.

I have been a gamer since high school (Class of 1991). Some of my old favorites include the original Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Doom II, Jedi Knights, Deus Ex, No One Lives Forever 2, Medal of Honor series, Half-Life, and Unreal II.

It's been a long time since I last logged in to the SnarkPit. I don't play games anymore, except for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I am retiring from medicine and becoming an airline pilot.

I started mapping in September of 2004, with the original Half-Life engine. I have made a few Source maps since, but my mapping career came to a halt when I turned 50.

Besides being a mapper and gamer, I am also a cinephile, a jazz connoussier, a bodybuilder, a runner, a writer, and an avid reader (mostly fiction).

Maps

Justice - DM

Medium-size map for 8-10 players. It is my first multiplayer and Source map. The architectural design is inspired by the Santa Barbara Courthouse in California. It's a map that I started making with HL, but finished with the Source engine.

I converted this map into a single-player campaign. You can check out the action here.

...and justice for all.

Detritus

Detritus is a biological term that describes decaying organic matter. You will encounter plenty of detritus in this map.

This is a small map and a short single-player campaign. It will take approximately 15-20 minutes for a first-time play through.

There are several hidden weapons in this map, including an RPG and a Magnum.
