Susan Van Baerle
Pete Border, Programming & Game Development Co-Coordinator
Pete first played a computer game in 1978, when he found a program called "Adventure" on an IBM mainframe at a local college. His grades immediately tanked, but it was fun. After that, he worked in physics research for a while, but eventually decided it was more fun to make games than chase neutrinos. Now he has been at Globe University/Minnesota School of Business for a year and is one of the co-coordinators of the Programming and Game Development program.
