Meet The Team
JOE CHARD, Founder and Business Dude
Joe has been downloading apps at a frantic pace since the iPhone first came out, then the Android soon after. In a bout of depression over the impending series finale of Lost, Joe reached out to longtime friend Jacob Richardson to create episodic games that would fill the looming void in his imagination. And so Nomuda was born. Prior to Nomuda Joe was in the MBA program at the University of Virginia's Darden School, and before that he worked in talent development and general management at a couple of bootstrap technology startups in Boston and San Francisco. Follow Joe on Twitter.
JACOB RICHARDSON, Founder and Creative Dude
Jacob's been all Nomuda since the pre-natal stages and now operates out of the regional office in San Francisco. Despite his wide range of previous employment – including editor, music journalist, horror author, taxidermist, landscaper, webpage manager, bartender, weight room manager, rodent trapper, frog dissector, media consultant, Jewish youth group dance chaperone to name a few – creativity has always been crucial to his endeavor. Story-based games are the perfect outlet for the crazy, loopy, and fantastical constructions that have come from decades of pouring over comic books and a childhood filled with nightly cartoon binges. In what little free time he has Jacob enjoys writing short stories, taking in art for inspiration, and pretending to be Batman. He also enjoys engaging in lively debates on why Terminator 2 is the best action movie ever made. (Join the debate at governator@nomudagames.com.)
DANIEL EPSTEIN, Developer
Daniel is an enthusiastic developer, and is very excited to bring Nomuda's innovative gameplay to the Android platform. He enjoys Game Development because it combines his love for Computer Programming with the ability to engage users. Prior to his work at Nomuda he had developed games for PC, Xbox 360, Flash, and the Nintendo DS. Visit his website at http://www.daniel.epsteinmania.com.
ANDREW GAUBATZ, Developer
Andrew is a passionate programmer and an avid gamer. He’s worked on numerous game projects for the University of Virginia Student Game Developers and Xbox Live Indie Games, many of which can be seen on his website (www.agaubatz.com). He is particularly interested in games as a developing art form and is excited to work on realizing Nomuda’s unique approach to mobile gaming.
