Mike Gonzales is a senior in DigiPen Institute of Technology's B.S. RTIS program. He expects to graduate in April 2004. He hopes to combine the rigorous mathematical and programming training gained in school with his previous studies of the "softer" fields of history, myth and culture once he is ejected in to the larger world.

Mark Young's passion is making exciting and fun video games. The real fun began 3 years ago when he entered the B.S. in Real Time Interactive Simulations program at Digipen Institute of Technology. From there he has acquired unrivaled skills and knowledge in the art of both designing and creating award winning caliber games. The latest example of this pure talent is in the game Nix. Here he implemented the underlying engine for all the entities, created the sound engine, codesigned/coimplemented the server client setup, and just recently tackled the basic AI routines. Now at 22 years old and graduating in December of 2003, I am ready to take my experience and vigor to the cubicles of reality.
