Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground (2007)
Career Skater Missions
Proving Ground was my first big job in the games industry. I was a skateboarder for many years as a teenager, and was a huge fan of the Tony Hawk series, so this project was a perfect fit. I designed all of the “Career Skater” missions, which made up one third of the game’s mission content.
Crowd Tech
I also ported the crowd technology from Guitar Hero into Proving Ground to create large crowds for skateboarding tournaments.

This was a killer first project in the industry and a really fun game to work on!
