He has been contributing to the development of games since 1990, and is best known for his work on the Electronic Arts titles, ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. He also develops his own games.

There is a [[Sim]]-version of himself introduced when the ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' [[expansion pack|expansion]] is installed. When the player first plays a non-[[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]] [[residential lot]] (or returns to a lotone after installing itthe expansion) with a new household, the [[Non-playable character|NPC]] makes a brief visit around 10:00 am and leaves a wrapped package, which turns out to be a [[computer]]. The computer comes with an "[[Easter eggs|Easter egg]]": it contains; an official, previously unreleased video of ''The Sims 3'' that had not been previously released.<ref group="n">Technically, this "Easter egg" is not linked to the computer itself, but to the gift box it is delivered in. [[J. M. Pescado|Pescado]] [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,11215.msg327644.html#msg327644 notes] that the box places a token which enables the "Easter egg" on the lot. As such, the Easter egg game can be played on any computer or [[video games|video game console]] after the package is opened.</ref><ref group="n">The game tracks whether or not the currently-played household had received the gift, not the lot. Sims that move out also receive the gift. As such, it is possible for a lot to receive multiple gifts if one household moves in, receives the gift but does not open it, dies off completely, and a new household moves in.</ref> There are [[mod]]s which can either [[List of Mods#nohumble|prevent]] [[List of Mods#Anti-Humble Hacks|him]] from appearing or allow the player to decide whether or not he will leave the computer.
