Getting to know your fellow BGDFers OR I stole this from BGG

I am a Software/Hardware Engineer by day (and also many nights), wireless technolgies, printers and printer firmware, video processing technologies are my main areas of focus. Though I do have a *jack of all trades* resume, which includes even recent MacIntel platform developement on an illustrator like product (sorry cant tell you which because I am under NDA)!

At some point I will help Darke get the new wiki site up and running (I promise), yeah dont blame Darke, the slow progress is my fault because of my work schedule.

Oh and I do attempt to design games, I am part owner of Infamous Games, Inc. We have gone as an exhibitor to GenCON for past 7 years years with our Adventures In Fantasy role playing game. We have also started work on a few other games, but again time keeps the progress very slow!

In my non-existent spare time I try to enjoy time with friends and family. I am an overall sports fanatic, there are not many sports that dont interest me to some degree. And sadly the sports sometimes sucks away valuable wiki design time! Shame on me! lol

And finally what is this *time management* concept you speak of Fastlearner? lol!

I'm a graphic/web designer from time to time and a friend's employee also from time to time. My main waking hours are spent on designing my 1st game, doing it's graphics, testing the "thing" with friends. Part of my income comes from people close to me who invested it in the project: this money is invested and the return is then used by (lucky!) me to pay my rent and dues.

I love hiking and nature. Motorbikes are cool, movies are great, imagination is infinite and magnificient...oh and I also love spirituality:)

I am a purchasing manager at a very large foodservice distributor in Oregon. I manage the purchasing of non-perishable foods for distribution to restaurants, hospitals, schools, prisons, and the like. I am transitioning to a new position which I have wanted for a long time. I am responsible for a group of product specialists to answer the questions of our 200 sales people and 6000 customers about the 14,000 items we sell. My self proclaimed title is "Know-it-all".

I have a wonderful wife, a daughter and a son, and a black lab. I play WoW online in the evenings after everone goes to bed. I am working on my first board game design and hitting up every aquaintance to playtest. I also dabble in golf.

By day I am a mild mannered forklift driver for a distribution center in Kentucky. Besides gaming, my other hobbies include geocaching, reading, writing and basically doing the whole Theoretical Imagineer thing. I spent a few years in Itami, Japan and go back every couple years to see my wife's family, hike and buy otaku stuff.

I've had a couple little games published in Kenzer & Company's Knights of the Dinner Table comic/magazine.

A version of Battle Chess where the pieces have D&D powers (capture a piece to earn points then spend those points to activate powers) that was in KODT #111.

Then the Dueling Druids dice game in KODT #112. I've got a few other games in the pipeline for them including SaikoroBots and Wushu Jam Z.

My pet project is a "tokusatsu" RPG (tokusatsu = Japanese live action heroes) using the z100 System (zocchihedron).
