Chris Handy, an emerging game designer, was raised by two teachers and as a result spent many hours in classrooms as a fledgling artist creating games and music. By the time he was twelve years old, he was hosting regular game nights with his family and friends in the rural neighborhood of Hilmar, CA. While riding jet skis with his wife in 2000, Chris was inspired to create his first game design, a horse racing game, and thus sparked a renaissance in his game making career. In 2004, "Linkity", Chris' first published game, was released by SimplyFun triggering the first of three "Major Fun Party" awards for all of his published games. His "Plext", was listed in the GAMES magazine's Top 100 Games of 2006. Chris Handy continually generates game ideas and designs while successfully persevering as a a children's recording artist under the name CJ. Chris also owns and operates GatePlay.com.
