About US

 Yes, it’s spelled S-O-R-E-N—and yes, people will probably assume I don’t know how to spell. In many cases… they’d be right. 😄But this one is intentional.
Soren Games is named after Soren, the main character from my fantasy novel series The Five Clans of Tresibra. I liked the double meaning, the name sounds familiar, feels strong, and connects the studio directly to the worlds and characters I’ve spent years building. Any spelling mistakes you find on our website? That’s just me being authentic. You can thank public schools for that one.

My love for the gaming community truly ignited after attending my first Midwest Gaming Classic with a few friends. Something clicked that weekend. Seeing developers, collectors, artists, and fans all sharing the same passion made it clear to me—I didn’t just want to play games anymore. I wanted to make them.
From that moment on, the goal became bigger than games alone. I wanted to build and manage a creative studio that could bring new video games, books, movies, and animated stories into the world.

My journey with video games started young. I was eight years old when I bought my first system, the Nintendo Entertainment System and that single purchase shaped the next 30+ years of my life. Games weren’t just entertainment; they were inspiration. They taught me storytelling, design, challenge, and reward long before I knew those words mattered.
The desire to build and create something new has always been there. Watching indie developers turn pure passion into successful businesses finally pushed me to take the leap. With the growth of independent studios proving that small teams can make big, meaningful experiences, I decided it was time to try my own hand at game development and do it the right way.

I’m also the author of a fantasy novel series called The Five Clans of Tresibra, which laid the foundation for much of the world-building you’ll see in our games. The books are available right here on our site and on Amazon.
