Fantasy love to the core

   RPGamer has always been, and always will be my baby. As the founder of RPGamer, I have seen the site grow from humble beginnings into the enormous site it is today. I'm very proud of what RPGamer has become, and can only imagine where it will go as the years go by. The longer I work on RPGamer, the more potential it shows.

   My duties are spread far and wide, but the majority of my work is behind the scenes. When I do show up on our index, typically it is for hands-on impressions, a review, or maybe even a new contest. Contests are my favorite. I love running them. It gives me a chance to give something away to the readers.

   When away from RPGamer, I spend time with my other baby: my one year old daughter. Balancing time between her and the site is a trick, but at least my daughter takes naps. I also work on my own personal page when I can. I can usually be found on RPGamer's IRC channel, though if it's quiet, I am likely playing a game for the site. I love video games. I can't imagine what life would be without them. That's why I'm here. :)
