About Me
Peter Freese is an entrepreneur, programmer, and visionary/co-creator of the LOGIN Conference with his wife, Cynthia.

Peter has been programming for over 30 years and making games professionally since the early 1990’s. After developing several award-winning educational games for Edmark, Peter co-founded Q Studios in 1994 and led development on the campy breakout 3D shooter title, Blood. He was the graphics engine lead on Sierra Studio’s fully 3D adventure game, Gabriel Knight 3. At Origin Systems, Peter learned of the joys and trials of MMO game development as client lead on the Ultima Online 2 team. In 2001, Peter established and directed the Core Technology & Tools team at NCsoft North America, contributing to development on all shared technology for numerous MMO game titles. In 2005, Peter co-founded MMO development company Secret Lair Studios which was acquired by Vivendi in 2006. Peter is currently lead programmer on an unannounced project for Hidden Path Entertainment in Bellevue, Washington.
