Simply put, I've spent my entire life around video games, comic books and toys.
As a result, I have volumes of knowledge about all aspects of the industries I love. I also have extensive skill with daily news blogging as well as interviews, reviews, and feature writing. My main focus is distributing the most up to date news to my readers with a fresh infusion of pop culture fun and an occasionally biting wit.
Additionally, I've started applying my talents with voices and accents to the exciting field of voice over for commercials, animation, and video games. I've studied with some of the best, and am continually refining my skills thanks to Abacus Entertainment in New York City.
