David Lubar (born March 16, 1954) is an author of numerous books for teens. He is also a video game programmer, who programmed Super Breakout for the Game Boy and Frogger for both the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy. He designed Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge for the Nintendo Game Boy Color.

Biography

Lubar was born and raised in Morristown, New Jersey. As a boy he frequented the school library where his mother worked, as well as the town library and county library.[2] He attended Rutgers University and received a degree in philosophy. After graduating, he tried to write full-time, but a low income forced him to pursue more lucrative options. David married his wife around this time in 1977. He began writing for Creative Computing in 1980.

In 1982, Lubar was offered a job designing and programming video games in California. There he designed and translated video games for the Atari 2600, Atari 8-bit computers, Apple II,Nintendo Entertainment System, and Game Boy.

After realizing he still wanted to write, Lubar returned to writing in 1994 while still working as a developer. By 1995, he had sold six books, and the company he worked for had gone out of business. During 1998 and 1999 Lubar started programming for the Game Boy while putting writing to the side, but he returned to writing shortly after. From 2000 to 2005, Lubar wrote short stories for various collections such as Ribbiting Tales, Lost and Found and Shattered.

Today,[when?] Lubar writes from his house. He has a daughter, Alison, who is a teacher.
