Leonard manages product development and content production for Sonic. A 20+ year game industry veteran, he has designed or produced over 50 games played by millions of people in diverse media, from print, to online, to PC, and mobile phones. He was previously Director of Games for Zingy and CTO and co-founder of U.S. mobile games pioneer Unplugged Games. Other stops have included West End Games, Victory Games, Crossover Technologies, Enter-Act, and Firaxis Games. Len was an early proponent of agile development processes and technologies in the game industry, first applying them at Unplugged Games in 2000 and is amused that the rest of the games industry is just now coming around to agile. When he's not slaving away at Sonic's offices, Len is mostly likely cooking and enjoying good wine with his wife, playing FPS or RTS games (when she's out of town), and perhaps tying a fly or two. |
