Maverick Masterminds is a game studio based in Marion, Iowa. We believe in fresh, engaging games with deep strategy and story! Our first game, Keepers' Dissension: Unchained, is a competitive strategy game (chess with superpowers) that's free on iPhone, iPad and Android.

Tim founded Maverick Masterminds in 2015, driven by a lifelong love of board games and video games. As he played more, his standards kept rising—and he found it harder and harder to discover games that felt truly original and deeply rewarding. Rather than settle, he decided to build the kinds of experiences he wished existed, and that decision became Maverick Masterminds.

Sam has been alongside Tim since day one—playtesting early builds, shaping the game’s look and feel, and contributing as both a QA lead and software developer. A lifelong gamer with wide-ranging, eclectic tastes, Sam brings a deep and varied perspective that helps us fine-tune our games and ensure they're engaging and enjoyable!

Wesley brings deep expertise in engineering and technology, as well as a great passion for both board and video games. He helps keep our systems and code on track and running, and, with his love and training in playing instruments and audio, also helps manage our sounds and music.

JT has an impressive history in the product world and, by joining our team, brings extensive knowledge and expertise in designing systems and user experiences that are enjoyable, refreshing, and engaging! With a love for board games, JT strategically targets his passion to help create the best board games around!
