About Me

Eric von Rothkirch was born in 1977 in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Eric played in some unsuccessful indie rock bands in the mid 1990s, learned sound engineering, and then switched tracks and entered the game industry in 2000 as a level designer.

In 2001, Eric began working for the legendary 3D Realms Entertainment on Duke Nukem Forever as a level designer, but in 2003 shifted roles once again to become a sound designer.

Eric writes sci-fi novels in his spare time, and maintains his Quantum Storytelling blog.
