So, who the heck am I? Who is this John character? Well, professionally, I am the Creative Director (and a Project Manager) for a Toy and Game company. I make Toys and (mostly) Games for a living! Woot! I LOVE my job. Besides designing Toys and Games, and creating artwork for them, I also manage overseas production of these items in China. As a result, I get to travel to China each year -- it pretty much rules. Check out my photos of Hong Kong arcades in the "other stuff" section of this site.

I have been involved in podcasts over the past few years. I am a co-host of the award winning podcast, Video Game Outsiders and the podcast, Warcraft Outsiders. I am also the founder of the adult gaming community, Zero Commit.

Besides gaming and podcasts, I have also been in a few bands. My current project is perhaps the best yet. It's called The Kill Screens and it's more of an indie electronica pop alt rock type of thing, if there is such a thing. It's a join project between me and a really talented musician, Matthew McCarthy. Matt has written songs that have been in video games and has also toured with Third Eye Blind. He is an awesome singer, our shit rules cause of his golden voice! :)

I also host a bi-annual arcade tournament at the Funspot arcade in New Hampshire. It's a good time. You should come!

Other than that, I am a father, a husband, and a recent dog owner. I love having fun and live for games. Enjoy!
