Adam Harte - Co-Chief Executive Officer of Pi and CHiPS Game Design
Adam Harte has been Co-Chief Executive Officer of Pi and CHips Game Design since March of 2006.
He joined the Pi and CHips team back in 2005 while working as a computer technician at the
Department of Health. Since then Adam and Chris Griffin began to create and document several of
their game concepts. Adam has been designing levels and creating game concepts from an early age.
Mostly skilled more in the technical side of PC hardware, his passion for video games developed
when he was 8 years old. He then voraciously took on playing every video game he could get a
hold of, whenever a game remained out of his reach, he would read everything about it. He
finally decided to get into the field of game development. Adam began studying both Maya and
3dsMax, as well as teaching himself C++. While not the technical expert Adam prefers to draw
concept designs and write out game concepts. The two partners have been building a library of
game concepts since then. Both partners are extremely quick in learning software tools they pick up.
Chris Griffin - Co-CEO and Creative Director of Pi and CHiPS Game Design
Chris, along with his friend Stephen Adams created the Pi and CHiPS name as a podcast back in early 2005.
Since then, Chris and Adam have used the name to create the next great up and coming game development company.
Chris graduated from high school in 2002 where he then spent the next 2 years in Germany as a member of the United
States Air Force.
In 2004, he returned to the U.S. were he transferred to the Florida Air National Guard and started attending
Tallahassee Community College.
He then began work at Florida Department of Corrections as a part time employee in the IT department.
He graduated in the summer of 2006 with an A.S. in Network Services Technology and is now working at the Florida
Department of Health as an IT technician.
Chris? strength lies in his ability to create strong, growing fantasy worlds, which the Pi and CHiPS Team uses to
create amazing and ground breaking titles. Chris is also skilled in Adobe Photoshop and has a working knowledge of
