Born on the first day of the first month in one of the most interesting years in our country’s history, William Jacobson spent his formative years linearly increasing in height and girth in a small town on the outskirts of the state capital in the backwoods of southern Wisconsin.

Before joining ZenSoft, William was a member of a critically acclaimed stage production group, performing the role of the villain in Caught in the Villain’s Web and of Bill Sikes in the musical Oliver.

After the shows’ successful runs, William left the theatre behind and attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where, after a brief stint in ballroom dance, he double-majored in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science.

But not even two degrees were enough for young William; he followed these with an MBA and an MS in Information Managmeent from Arizona State University. Luckily for humanity, however, he decided to use his newfound degrees for good and not evil. He currently resides in sunny North Carolina with his family.

William has materially participated in every ZenSoft release since 1995. His recent projects include the level design for Zaxxoids.
