I could see right away how knowledgeable Karl was about the process of making games on a level deeper than most producers out there. This makes him a powerful force in understanding the plans he's putting together and how he's managing workloads. Karl would be a great addition to any team!

Never have I met a man more passionate about the gaming industry than Karl Rocco. His devotion and knowledge of the craft are an inspiration. To have a Karl on a team would give you dedication and an amazing work ethic. Karl would go above and beyond for any company he’s a part of.
