| Introduction | My job in life is to play and enjoy as many games as I can, maybe design a few along the way and help other designers work on, develop and publish their games. I am an active member of the tabletop game community and you can check me out on BoardGameGeek, Linkedin Game Groups, Google+ Game Communities,my Game Blog on Tumblr and Blogspot and on a number of other social media sites. Outside of my day job I live and breath games. I pretty much play all categories of games, board games, card games, war games, RPGs, Miniatures games,video games and everything in between. I actively support game related projects and if you need help spreading the word about your project, send me a message. I am a social media junkie and can help market a campaign. If you’re attending Origins or Gencon, send me a message and maybe I’ll see you there. |

| Favorite Music | Well as an 80s gamer of course I LOVE 80s music – like A-ha, Police, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Mr. Mister, U2, etc NIN Smashing Pumpkins Garbage Faith no More G N R – early stuff Metallica AC DC Aerosmith Shiny Toy Guns Moby Movie Soundtracks- can’t go wrong with Hans Zimmer Too many to list, I probably had about 500 cds in my collection at one point, now I have everything on a hard drive I will say I pretty much despise modern rap/hip hop CRAP, can sort of kind of tolerate country although I don’t own any, modern PoP/American Idol is JUNK as are all the buttboy bands |
