Billy Sweetman
Apparently some one thinks I know what I'm doing.
Braulio Cejudo
Braulio Cejudo comes to us from working at Zoic Studios in sunny California. Brau would like everyone to know that, after watching his first Fox City Foxz home (roller derby) bout, he now UNDERSTANDS WHATS GOING ON. Also, sorry about the pillow, Norb.
Chad Heim
Chad Heim has been professionally programming for over 10 years. After graduating from UIUC, Chad has worked on a variety of projects ranging from small embedded systems to large scale business applications. Not so long ago, Chad's passion for programming and his enjoyment of gaming had led separate lives. Those lives were kept ruthlessly apart by the villainous powers of "The Corporate Environment". Then, one day, Chad heard the calling. Wielding his skills like the finely crafted blade, he defeated the oppressing overlords of TPS reports and water cooler meetings. Now the once divided lives of programming and gaming live harmoniously in the land of Frozen Codebase as a game programmer.

Eric Francksen
Eric Francksen joins Frozen Codebase with a great love for video games and the great creative people it attracts. As a Wisconsin native, Eric is happy to find himself in Green Bay and at Frozen Codebase. Eric holds a BFA from Viterbo University with a focus in digital media and business. His background in these two disciplines found a happy culmination as an assistant producer; helping his creative teams in any way he can. Perhaps more important than his work as assistant producer...perhaps more important than his role as IGDA Madison coordinator...is Eric's role in continuing the Mario Kart DS tradition, "Throwdown"!
Erin Basten
Erin hails from right here in Green Bay. Likes: Macs, photography, Photoshop, RPG games, tequila, singing, and spending the green backs. Hates: anything to do with NFL teams (no particular teams, of course), waiting, reading the instructions, and driving slow.
Greg Kellerman
Greg is neither a programmer nor an artist. He is neither a unicorn nor a hobbit. He is a white dude with some designing skills. If you have a game idea to pitch me, please send it to Ben Geisler. He LOVES outside game ideas and will listen for hours and hours...

Jason Kim
Born in Columbus, Ohio far from his homeland, a full red hot blooded Korean male named Jason Kim emerged from the womb playing Starcraft a full 15 years before its release. Known for punching and kicking things while programming, this man turns code into a martial art. Yelling "Look beyond the script, you shall see only my fist" He Graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Computer Science, he hoped one day to make the video games he loves so much. Just like he eats everything in sight, Jason looks to consume the gaming industry with his fiery passion. Just like his punches upon a steel door, Jason looks to leave his impression on the gaming world. Jason Kim is jump kicking his way to victory! PS: Jason Kim was able to play Starcraft in 1982 from a time machine he stole by punching a scientist in the face and then eating his dog and kicking a giant eagle into extinction
Jens Schneider

Jens is now at Frozen Codebase where he's working on his 2nd AAA title. Jens enjoys playing guitar, piano, watching UFC and scary movies (preferably the Asian ones.) He was born and raised in Germany, Cologne, at the Rhine-- where they make Koelsch.
Jesse Rahikainen
Ever since he got his first Atari as a wee child, Jesse Rahikainen has been a gamer, and ever since he first got a computer as a not-nearly-as-wee-but-still-small child he's been a programmer. After going to a technical college for two years he finally decided to take the only logical step and merge the two. Since then he has graduated with a BS in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay and been too busy making games to have a life.
Justin Kovac

Kelli Davis
Kelli Davis' history with games started before she was born. Her mother and father met over a rousing game of Mrs. Pacman at a Denny's and the rest they say is history. Growing up in this environment it was only natural that she would want to continue down the path for her career. After school she became involved with the Halo community and the PMS clan. Both of which have given her ample support to pursue her dream. She eventually landed at Frozen Codebase where she currently nests and fuels her plans for world domination.
Kurt Henrickson
While struggling to write a bio that didn't make him sound like a self infatuated pro-wrestler or a desperate myspacer trolling for approval from the masses, Kurt Henrickson sat his girlfriend down and asked for her help.....to which she responded "you're cute!" Yes he is, yes he is.
Miles Wadsworth
The heathen gods placed upon the world a most terrible curse..lightning clashed.. the earth shook.. magma oozed from it's bowls... and then there was Miles..
Rev. Norb Rozek
A lifelong inmate of the frozen tundra, Norb published Northeastern Wisconsin's first music fanzine, Sick Teen, while a high school student, then went on to perform with a string of increasingly bizarre bands (most notably Boris The Sprinkler), write for a string of increasingly obscure publications (most notably MaximumRockNRoll and Razorcake), and collect a string of increasingly useless personal possessions (most notably his Sacred Mystic Antler Helmet, though his Meowth sport sipper is a close second). Having dabbled in everything from radio (WGBW FM) to television (The Entertainer! TV Show) to adult movie reviews (WisconsinXXX, which lasted all of one issue), Nørb migrated to games because they were the last remaining weird thing he had not yet done. He enjoys living down the questionable legacy of being known as "the guy who thought of Screwjumper!", and substituting an empty set for the letter "o" in his name, which, as he points out, "means absolutely nothing."
Ryan Ries
Ryan is a QA Intern. But in this picture he's not wearing his mandatory Bunny Suit.
Ryoji Chang
Originally hailing from Thailand by way of the jungles of Laos, this break dancing lunatic escaped from war-torn Vietnam and made his way to America, eventually finding himself in the marginally less dangerous field of QA. Ryoji Chang is an artist by choice, and, having recently become a naturalized citizen of the United States, claims his ultimate goal is to become President of the USA. Although Ryoji's birth certificate clearly indicates that he is ten years too young to become President, Ryoji points out that he entered the country without any actual birth information, and that, as far as he knows, he might actually have been born in 1973, not 1983. The rumor that Ryoji was smuggled into the country in a false bottomed beer keg has yet to be substantiated.
Vincent Mysliwjec
Vince Mysliwjec enjoys pick-up-and-play games when he's not programming. Its been said that he is the Jeff Gordon of Mario Kart. As an unbiased 3rd party he would have to agree. He enjoys any form of competition so long as he can win!
