The really short version

I’m a 32 year old family man, computer scientist and game designer with 15 years of professional experience in most fields of information technology, especially software engineering, and a lifetime of enthusiasm for those magical machines we call computers as well as amateur experience in game design, gaming theory (not to be confused with the mathematical discipline of game theory) and game writing, development and production.

Aspirations

First and foremost I’m going to be the world’s greatest dad (I’ve got books!) and a super husband but when I grow up I’m going to be a computer game designer and producer.

Family

I am married to the lovely Heidrun Berglind Finnsdottir, editor, columnist and independent author, and together we have been blessed with two beautiful daughters, Anna Hrefna who now resides in heaven watching over mommy and daddy and Athena Katrin who was born 9th April 2010 and is currently keeping daddy’s sleep-pattern really interesting.

Interests

Everything to do with computers and the internet especially computer games and game design.
Mathematics, physics and astronomy (yes… really!).
Social & behavioral psychology. I’m mesmerized by the unseen strings of our subconscious that control so much of who we are and what we do.
Graphics, both computer and hand made. I draw, paint, color, design and so on and so forth. I’m especially fond of drawing dragons for some reason.
Books, movies & theater.
