Why the name ModMan? I started my modding career with Baldur's Gate, experimenting with the tools developed by TeamBG and other coders. I became fascinated with the inner workings of games. The introduction of Morrowind and its Construction Set allowed me to stretch my creative muscles. I was involved from the beginning of that modding community, designing the original "Hunger Mod," a prototype that eventually was built and improved upon by others. I added the Windowlights mod as a aesthetic improvement to the visuals in the game.

Favorite Books:

Tolkien: The Hobbit, Silmarillion (my favorite), Lord of the Rings

Shogun (James Clavell)

Stephen King (anything BEFORE Pet Semetary, where in my opinion he became too commercial and hackneyed): The Stand and Salem's Lot are my highlights (favorite Stephen King book and I loved the cheesy 1979 movie too)

Stephen R. Donaldson: Thomas Covenent trilogies (haven't read the third series yet)

Michael Moorcock: any of his fantasy works (Corum, and of course Elric) and some of the metaphysical stuff

Dan Simmons: Hyperion series; great science fiction

Favorite Movies (no particular order):
