Justin Cooney
Chief Creative Officer

A seasoned game development manager and creative visionary, Justin's first became interested in gaming and programming when his parents bought a Commodore 64. He would buy the latest BYTE magazine to program in the 'game' that was included in each issue. But he would not stop there. He decided to delve into the programming aspect and actually started to merge many programs into one and became hooked. Aside from his programming endeavors, he loved to play games, tons of them; from the $9.99 ones at K-Mart to any game his friends gave him.

Fast forward to his career, his first gaming post was at Electronic Arts Canada. Long hours did not faze him and he drove his team to success after success, despite the many hurdles of simultaneous projects. Before long, Justin expanded his breath of knowledge by driving business development and product management at Advanced Gravis, Logitech, Kensington, ATI, and finally AMD.

Always deep in content, Justin knew how to maximize opportunities creatively without sacrificing the quality needed and deserved. Justin is always designing games, generating and refining them to deliver the best gaming experience possible. His creative drive and vision are behind the range of design concepts at L337 Media.
