Essentially, his job is to supervise the team and making sure that their job is smooth and nothing will happen to hinder them in production. Parsons (aged 38) left a senior marketing job at Microsoft to join the ''[[Halo]]'' crew as studio manager. He once said: "I'd been a Bungie fan for a long time. They're an incredibly talented group of people who don't accept second best. I like the bar being set so high that falling off would kill you."
