==Biography==
Chad Armstrong has been a Bungie Studios fan longer than most current have worked there, and before he became an employee had already met several of them at fan events such as LAN parties and Bungie Fanfest.
In August 2004, Shishka was hanging out on the halo.bungie.org IRC chatroom when Lorraine McLees signed in looking for help with Halo 2 screenshots and other Halo 2 promotional art materials. Shishka, who was about to move to Seattle anyway, offered to help out.
Shishka's first day at Bungie in 2004 was his second day living in Seattle, and lasted 36 hours, spilling over into the next day as well. Shishka was hooked and Bungie accepted him as one of their own.
Shishka's primary duty over the course of his two-year employment at Bungie was to keep Lorraine McLees sane by helping her out in any way possible. He created most of the Halo 2 swag and promotional material made for the game, as well as his Halo character appearing in many screenshots and the Halo 2 Attract Reel. He also served as a Forum Ninja, developing a reputation as a strict-but-fair moderator.
Near the beginning of 2007, Shishka resigned as a moderator and Lorraine-assistant when he moved to Texas (along with Max Hoberman and quite a few others from various game development companies) to help form a new company Certain Affinity.
In March 2008 Chad returned to Bungie as a multiplayer designer, he worked there for 30 months where he played a key role in the development of Halo: Reach's forge and maintained the matchmaking of Halo 3.
He left Bungie in August 2010, just before Halo: Reach released, he then joined 343 Industries in October 2010.
He didn't wear the Recon helmet in the Humpday Challenge. Shishka is featured in the Halo 3 ViDoc: And on the Seven7th Day... in which he appears, alongside Luke Smith, as his multiplayer avatar.
