Former ION studio executives to teach classes at UTD

The spectacular rise and fiery crash of Dallas-based computer game development studio ION Storm were landmark events in the game industry.

Now, the two men who piloted ION Storm, John Romero and Tom Hall, have resurfaced in the most unlikely of jobs: college professors.

Starting in the fall semester, Mr. Romero, 34, and Mr. Hall, 37, will be instructing computer science majors at the University of Texas at Dallas on the finer points of game programming and design.

"We're really excited to teach because we love to teach what we know, and this is the perfect place to do it," Mr. Romero said.
