About Me:
JOSEPH SAULTER
Board Chairman
Joseph has spent his life using technology and art to bring people together. As a professional musician and composer his work includes the seminal electro-funk album Twilight 22 and stretches all the way to the great white way, where he won a Drama Desk Award for his role in the Broadway musical I Love My Wife.

Joseph has made a career out of tearing down the walls that separate art forms, people and cultures by fusing his creative talents with educational outreach and entrepreneurial boldness. Though his educational work — including a McGraw-Hill series of Game Design and Development textbooks — and his service as Chairman of the International Game Developers Association's Diversity Advisory Board, Joseph has opened doors in the gaming industry to thousands of aspiring artists, designers and developers.
Joseph has launched numerous successful businesses and gaming titles in collaboration with Sony, Vivendi, Warner Bro, Blizzard and software developer Softimage. He also serves on the steering committe of the Bill Gates Group initiative Blacks in Gaming.
Joseph launched EARI to take gaming into markets the industry has overlooked and ignored, including faith communities and the authentic urban scene. His goal: to create an industry powerhouse built on games and interactive media that serve genres, communities and people who rarely see themselves and their experiences reflected onscreen.
