Has two sons with Roberta Williams: DJ (b. 1973) & Chris (b. 1979)
Retired from the video game industry in 1998 and nowadays spends most his time playing golf, tinkering with his computer and boating.
Claims the Sierra games he likes best are: Leisure-Suit Larry, Space Quest and Phantasmagoria.
He claims he founded SIerra primarily because he and his wife "wanted to live in the woods" with their stated goal in life to live in a quiet log cabin at Yosemite to raise their children.
He and his wife mostly live in Mexico (Cabo). They also have a home in Seattle, and a boat slip in France (near Monaco).
