Gamer Bio:
The arcade version of Pacman/Donkey Kong at the dentist's office, PC games like Asteroid and text-based adventure games, and the NES were my first main exposures to video games as a child. This was before you paid for the Internet by the minute and I can remember when I bought the NES used from a friend...the $150-some dollar investment was a major decision for me and my parents, but with the games that came with it, I had to have it! I can also remember the friends I had back then, only because they owned the hottest video game console, lol.
I've been a gamer all my life and hit it especially hard in college, where I aspired to design them. We would spend endless hours gaming with friends in school and after I received my Computer Science degree, I went out and tried to jump into the industry.
I soon found out that these days, you really need a video game specific degree. I interviewed with High Voltage Software and had a job offer in San Diego as a game tester for Sony products, but ended up coming back to Des Moines, Iowa and fell into the Internet.
____________
I worked at Captain Jack Communications until 2010, until moving to the largest web development firm in Iowa, Global Reach. My work consists of conceptualizing medium to large web development projects for businesses all around the country. My work is such a challenge and I enjoy seeing so many professional business markets. It also allowed me to develop The Iowa 3v3 Soccer Challenge, which was my first entrepreneurial experience that I developed completely on my own. After 2 years of that venture being successful and still wanting to get into the video game industry, I conceptualized this place.
One night, during a night of 4-person gaming, I opened up the idea to Andy, my best friend. With his health issues in the past, we had been able to stay connected with each other through video games and it created a special bond between us. We decided that this would be a chance to develop a business together and the rest is history!
____________
These days, I personally enjoy FPS games the most, but can appreciate almost anything. Our live video game tournaments/events are so cool and it allows me to make friends through this unique entertainment medium and finally, I can consider myself a part of the video game industry!
My long-term goal for this GoG community, is to see the membership continue to grow over 10,000 users and to help develop tools for all of us to use together...
