Born on June 1, 1955 in Havana,Cuba, Gomez emigrated to the Unided States at the age of 7, when his family fled the Castro regime in TheSixties. Growing up in Chicago, he studied architecture at the University of Illinois in Chicago, and graduated as an industrial designer. He began working at Creator/BallyMidway in October of 1978; his earliest tasks involved designing game controls, most notably the iconic joystick for ''VideoGame/{{Gorf}}'' and game concepts and the cabinet for ''VideoGame/{{Tron}}''. One of his earliest original designs was ''VideoGame/SpyHunter'' with game programmer Tom Leon, who was also coincidentally Cuban-American. He collaborated on ''VideoGame/SatansHollow'' with Bill Adams, the lead programmer on TRON. Satan's Hollow was conceived and mostly designed by Bill Adams.
