Butcher served as a programmer for Halo: Combat Evolved, and as an engineering lead for Halo 2. His latest project was the game, Serious Sam II, which debuted in 2005.
His favorite memory of working at Bungie was of falling asleep on the walk home at four am, and waking up the next morning on a high school football field.[1]
