I'm a guy who grew up in Western New York and went to college studying Digital Media and Writing. I recently left behind my entire life on the east coast behind to move to the San Francisco Bay Area and more actively pursue a career in gaming, which led to a position at GameStop - which led to meeting Nic and applying for Game Revolution, where I'm now a Freelance Writer.

In my spare time when I'm NOT playing video games, I am probably writing fiction.
