Leonard Boyarsky Leonard Boyarsky

After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Art Center College of Design, Leonard Boyarsky entered the game world as a freelance artist in 1992. After various links he was hired as a cleanup artist at Interplay, where he quickly worked his way up to lead artist on Stonekeep. At the time Stonekeep ended, Leonard was given the opportunity to become lead artist/art director on the nebulous project that was to become Fallout. In addition to guiding the art on the project, he joined with Jason and Tim to oversee the complete direction and feel of the game, and helped come up with the original design. After helping to complete the initial design for Fallout2, he left Interplay along with Tim and Jason to form Troika Games.

While working there, Chris attended school in the evenings to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. The titles Chris helped create include Rags to Riches, Star Trek: Judgement Rites, Stonekeep, M.A.X., Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and Fallout. Chris was Co-Lead Programmer, along with Tim, on the critically acclaimed Fallout.

Mark Harrison Mark Harrison

Mark started playing with games and programming early in life. In junior high he wrote a pillbox artillery game for the TRS-80, and learned the value of comments when he couldn't understand his own code the day after writing it.
Mark began his career in the industry at Interplay during his last summer vacation from college. He started testing Buzz Alrin's Race Into Space, and soon moved into design work on Stonekeep. After receiving his BS, he returned as a programmer.
Mark worked on a handful of ports before he joined the Fallout team for the last eight months of its development, and worked on Stonekeep II after that.
When not coding, Mark enjoys playing computer games, especially strategy titles, and watching Red Dwarf or anything by Hayao Miyazaki, and it seems he can never get enough sushi.


Yong Park Yong Park

Yong was born in Korea, and spent the first 20 years of his life there. After he studied "business management" at "Korea University" for 2 years, he realized he was not really interested in that major. Yong then moved to the US. He tried several different types of jobs over the next 5 years, and finally realized that he was bad at almost every "economic aspect " of life, so he became an artist.
After 3 years of drawing and painting, he heard that there were groups of people who were paid good money for just day-dreaming for hours and making drawings about what they dreamed of. This unbelievable news didn't make sense to him at all, but he also knew that in the US, a lot of things don't make sense anyway. He studied (day-dreamed) one more year to get a degree, and luckily enough, found a group of people hiring day-dreamers (artists).
These days, Yong is day-dreaming, making drawings and playing with computers all day, but nobody calls him a loser. He even gets paid for that.


Jesse Reynolds Jesse Reynolds

Jesse Reynolds moved to California to join Interplay in the summer of 1994. His first project was StoneKeep, which kept him busy for quite a while. After StoneKeep shipped, Jesse joined programming forces with Tim and Chris to work on the award-winning Fallout. Jesse was promoted to Lead Programmer on Fallout 2, and once it was completed, left Interplay to join the Troika team.
When Jesse's not busy coding, he can be found attempting to kill his co-workers in a game of Quake, or gaining new levels on EQ. In addition to computer gaming, Jesse enjoys reading science fiction and fantasy novels, as well as playing pencil & paper RPGs.


Sharon Shellman Sharon Shellman

About 4 years ago, Sharon (or Shellman as she prefers to be known) decided the corporate world sucked, and she wanted to be an artist. So she taught herself some 3D packages, and got herself a job as a contract artist on Fallout. She did several exciting cut scenes for the game including the Exiting the Vault, Dipped in the Mutant Vats, and Blowing up the Mutant Vats, and several characters, including Dogmeat, the Death Claw, the Brahman and Mr. Handy. After completing Fallout, Shellman was stolen away by Blizzard. At Blizzard she helped make cut scenes for both StarCraft and Broodwar. She also spent many hours crushing all of her co-workers during playtest on StarCraft prior to it's shipping. (and loved every minute of it!) Shellman decided it was time to leave Blizzard when she went into labor (and, contrary to predictions.....Gwyn didn't turn out looking like a Zerg) After healing from her wounds of childbirth, and goofing off with her new daughter for a few months, she joined the Troika team in the ever expanding role of Office Manager / Artist / Receptionist / Bookkeeper / Mom.
When not running the company, making movies, or yelling down the halls, Shellman is busy shopping on Ebay and spending time with 13 month old Gwyn, and (when her schedule permits) Gwyn's daddy, Jason. And, now that WarCraft II Battle.net Edition has been released, she'll probably be kicking some human butt around the office too!


Chad Moore Chad Moore

Chad Moore is a five year veteran of the industry, with an impressive list of games under his belt. (Okay, so its really only one game, but he's had a lot of good ideas for games, so that should count for something.) Graduating in 1993 with a degree in Economics, he shunned the corporate world (translation: couldn't get a decent job) and entered the computer art arena, where his extensive knowledge of supply and demand is invaluable when solving art problems like how big a fighter's sword should be. After a successful career with Interplay productions, Chad joined the Troika team where he employs his creative expertise and energy in all aspects of the development process (ie, sitting at his desk and doing what he's told.)
Chad also enjoys writing, and is a student of various techniques. For example, writing autobiographies in the third-person.
