Todd Keister
Despite the obvious breadth of culture and arts in El Paso, Texas, Todd spent most of his developing years playing AD&D and any game on any system that any friend owned. Through 142 college credit hours across many disciplines, Todd remained consistent in 3 things in life: playing games, exercising, and performing. When some gaming buddies from college actually formed a company together to make games, he laughed at the concept of making money to play/make games and then jumped on board for Shadowbane. Moving quickly to production roles, Todd moved on to NCsoft where he worked on several MMOs through development to launch and beyond. After many years in Austin, Todd moved out to San Francisco for a production role back on the development side of the fence.
A career spanning several industries as well as seeing both the publishing and development sides of games brings him a broad perspective.

What are some of your favorite management tools?
I stick by a tried and true triumvirate: An iron maiden, a sextant, and a cunning wit.
What does it feel like to have 2% bodyfat and no hair?
Ever see those pictures of a hairless cat? Not like that at all.
