Michael Condrey
Career.
The following year, his senior thesis on applying biotechnology to conservation biology was published in the "Molecular Ecology". After serving as scuba diving instructor and boat captain in the Cayman Islands, he began work on a graduate degree in Seattle.  It was there that launched his game development career, beginning with a summer job at Electronic Arts during the peak of Seattle's gaming explosion. Condrey later relocated to  Redwood City at the EA-owned studio Visceral Games, where he became studio chief operations officer, as well as senior development director on the 2008 title "Dead Space". He also worked on three other successful EA franchises: Need for Speed, FIFA, and the James Bond game series. 
 In November 2009, Condrey and Visceral Games colleague Glen Schofield founded Sledgehammer Games, a subsidiary of Activision operating under the company's independent studio model. Condrey likened the opportunity to work with Activision and "Call of Duty" to a baseball player getting a call from the New York Yankees or a filmmaker hearing from Steven Spielberg After an initial attempt to create their own "Call of Duty" title, Condrey and Schofield collaborated with Infinity Ward on "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3".   The game grossed $1 billion in worldwide sales in its first 16 days and took the Best Shooter prize at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards.
