Nick Karp joins the Shenandoah Studio
Greetings,
This is another late, but still right on time announcement: we are happy to say that Nick Karp has joined the Studio as our CFO.
But of course Nick is also an award-winning game designer. His game “Vietnam” is still highly respected and continues to be played. He designed other games while a member of the game design staff at SPI, where I was also a designer.
Vietnam: 1965-1975, by Nick Karp
Nick joined SPI before I did, before they could actually pay him in cash in fact because he was under age. He published his first game at SPI before he graduated from high school. We became best friends during that time and we even started a company together a few years later, in the mind-1980′s. We upgraded Macintosh computers to 512k of RAM (with soldering guns in hand). The company was called “EON Flashcorp” after a company in Nick’s SPI game “Star Trader.”
Since those days Nick has gone on to work in defense contracting, software development, financial services, and computer hardware manufacturing. He also earned his degree in accounting and passed his CPA exams (he could have probably taught the classes…). So Nick brings many talents to the Studio and we are thrilled to have him join us as a partner.
Cheers,
E
Eric Lee Smith
Founder & CEO
