A lifelong gamer, he only briefly stepped away during his college years but was drawn back after years in quality assurance roles for THQ and Activision, notably contributing to the *Guitar Hero* series at its peak.
His favorite genres include platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, but he’s especially passionate about games with a compelling narrative. Because, after all, what are video games if you can’t enjoy a good story — preferably with a fresh Cherry Coke in hand?
