How did you get started in the gaming industry?
I was hired because I drove to the Sony Online Entertainment office in St. Louis on my own dime for an interview. They did know I was coming! That office for SOE no longer exists.

When did you join the EQII team?
I joined the team in the late summer of 2004. Just a few months before the game launched.

What do you like to work on for EQII?
I like to work on game performance. It makes the game better for everyone involved.

What can you tell us about your main character in the game?
Silverfrost is a 56th level Guardian. He's pretty wimpy. Historically I have played swordsmen in RPG's for well over a decade. In EQII I wanted to continue that and play a pure tank.

I was able to sneak a photo of Don's wall board and the inspirational messages he has up for himself:
