How Thad David went from being a video game-worthy badass to a video game developer

Henry “Thad” David has packed his resume with so much action, he could make a first-person shooter autobiography.

The marine-turned-security-agent recently added independent game developer to his CV with the release of Zombie Company Crusade. The free-to-play real-time strategy campaign – launched on September 1 and currently exclusive to all iOS devices – drops players into a sustained military assault against endless throngs of undead and has them expanding and defending their forward operating bases while simultaneously repelling zombie attacks. We corresponded with Thad David at length over email because we were curious to see how the man started making an action game instead of starring in one.
