Based in tech heavy Omaha, NE, Intrinsic Algorithm L.L.C was founded in December 2001.  President and Lead Designer, Dave Mark has been programming since 1985 when he was in high school.  After a brief detour in the music business as a composer/arranger and recording engineer, he re-entered the technology arena in 1995.  He worked in a variety of capacities including network design and rollout, web design and nation- and world-wide email systems, and before turning to business database application design and programming for Fortune 500 companies.

An avid game player since 1984 and a statistics addict for 25.148 years (as of this writing), Dave has been analyzing and dissecting games for many years.  No longer content to sit idly by and say "I wish they would have done it this way!", Dave decided that it was time to take his passion for playing, his skill with programming, and his creativity for design and put them together into one package.  The result is the driving force behind Intrinsic Algorithm.

Dave was also a contributor to the book, "AI Game Programming Wisdom 4" from Charles River Media with his 13-page article, "Multi-Axial Dynamic Threshold Fuzzy Decision Algorithm" and the accompanying code on the CD.

Laurie Reynolds is Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Intrinsic Algorithm. She runs much of the day-to-day operations of the business. Laurie also specializes in the necessary tireless research that IA does during its extensive pre-production phase of development.  Using her background and skills as a writer, she is also planning to be involved in some aspects of game design for the company.
