It all started with founder and CEO Chris Goodnight and his wife and CCO Nessa Goodnight. 

 

Chris Goodnight is a Special Operations Combat Veteran and aerospace engineer with over 15 years experience delivering billions in value for Fortune 50 companies across the Globe. 

 

But where this story really begins is circa 1994 when a young Chris was first introduced to what would become his life’s passion: Video Games and Doom. And more specifically, a great big book, the size of a dictionary, with a disk tucked into the back cover that contained the software needed to make your own maps, levels and WADs in Doom. At 7 years old he was hooked on the process and the artistry of video game creation. Chris spent his childhood and teen years creating maps, modeling characters and writing stories to mod games like Doom, Quake, and Half-life. He would spend countless hours and nights reading about the principles of game design from the greats like John Carmack, Warren Specter and Cliff Blizinski. Had circumstances been different a career in game design seemed like a sure bet. But duty called. After the terror attacks of 9/11 Chris felt it was his responsibility to stand up and fight for the values of dignity and freedom for all oppressed people.

 

He joined the United States Air Force and became a member of the elite Tactical Air Control Party where he served as a Tier 1 operator deployed to Northern Iraq. Even on deployment, Chris had his trusty PlayStation 2 and CRT TV back in the tent to play Total Carnage with the boys. Gaming as a passion never left as Chris transitioned from the military to the civilian world, gaining his degree with the GI Bill and going on to become a very talented Program Director and Project Manager. Leveraging his passion for technology and talent for leadership, Chris was able to rise through the ranks of Fortune 50 America quickly, and delivered billions in value over the years.  As an aerospace engineer, Chris has been tested with the latest in cutting edge technology and helped forge new paths in international development and collaboration.

 

All of this success however always left him with a lingering hunger to create something that the world has never seen before. To bring to fruition something incredible, from an idea, to a sketch, to a fully immersive world. The time had come to build a team, and create something incredible. And that is what he is driving to do today: build a team and create something incredible.
