    Official Bio

    Gavin was born in the same month the Nintendo Entertainment System shipped to North America, and it wasn’t long before he wrenched that controller away from older kids’ hands. And he never let go. Like a modern-day boy-raised-by-wolves (OK maybe not), Gavin was fostered by the likes of Mario, Link, Samus, Mega Man, and other iconic heroes from the golden age of games. Gavin got his start in the game industry at the indecent age of 15, when he joined Westwood Studios as a tester on Command & Conquer: Yuri’s Revenge, and subsequently worked on every title from that team including The Battle for Middle-earth and its sequel, C&C Generals, C&C 3 and Red Alert 3. During this tenure, Gavin soon rose from the ranks of QA due to his proficiency as an engineer and as a designer, as well as his surpassing skill as a player – he was 1v1 ladder champion on both C&C Generals and C&C 3. In founding Supergiant Games with Amir, Gavin aims to create the sorts of games that are as inspiring as the ones he played as a kid.
