With nearly 50 years of experience in creating board games for amusement, Joe is a seasoned game designer who began developing computer-based games back in 1978. "Bidness" marks his debut into the world of commercially available board games.
Joe attended MIT, where his passion for creativity and technology flourished. During his university years, he launched the first incarnation of Maldens Universe as an art zine. Beyond game design, Joe is also an artist and musician. He has exhibited his art installations, including 2 Dogs in Kitchen and Dipping into Kapital, at the Brewery Art Complex in Los Angeles.
