Leadership Team and Vision

The voice of NBA JAM and a gaming icon, Tim “Boomshakalaka” Kitzrow, co-founds First Moon Games, and takes on the role of Chief Marketing Officer.

Aaron Murray, the President and CEO of First Moon Games, brings a wealth of technical expertise and industry leadership. Formerly the Chief Technology Officer of Double A Labs and Senior Director of Engineering at Kabam, Murray played a key role in co-founding Kabam's San Antonio development studio and R&D group. His MerTech™ technology platform and tools have served as the backbone of next-generation servers, data systems, and network infrastructures for real-time multiplayer games. Earlier in his career, Murray co-founded Tandem Games, where he was a pioneer of the "free-to-play" gaming model, including working with Paypal to launch Microtransaction-specific accounts, as well as developing five titles across multiple genres.

Studio Head and General Manager Joe Tresca is no stranger to game development, having founded Eyeballistic Games in 2016. With a portfolio that includes the development of NetBlast™—a groundbreaking improvement in rollback code for fighting games—Tresca's team has worked on popular titles such as War Gods, International Karate++, Lawless, and Mortal Kombat HD. His deep experience in the genre and his leadership at Conjure Games have positioned Tresca as a key figure in First Moon Games' new venture.

Legends of Boom – Coming This Fall
