At Wooga, Chuck demonstrated his innovative prowess by developing a new prototype every month, including the #1 US iPhone game at the time, Jelly Splash, and contributing to the success of Bubble Island 2. His creativity continued at Ludisto, where he designed and produced the iOS board game, What the Shell, a strategic game that challenges players to place their turtles on the board simultaneously to capture and achieve five-in-a-row.
In addition to his game development achievements, Chuck is a passionate retro gaming enthusiast, running the YouTube channel RG Geek, which has garnered over 1,400 subscribers. His expertise in video games extends to his role as a tour guide at the Computerspielemuseum, where he has spent several years sharing the rich history of video games with visitors.
