Alvan Monje is a Senior Designer at Volition. He started there in 1999, in QA, where he helped to ship FreeSpace 2, Summoner, and Red Faction. He transitioned into design in 2001 and since then has worked on Summoner 2, Saints Row, and Saints Row 2. Currently he is Design Architect on an unannounced project. Outside of work, Alvan tries to avoid pen-and-paper gaming and MMOs, focusing instead on leveling up his real-life character. Unfortunately he is not always successful.
