Who I Am, What I Do

I started writing about games as a college student in 2010. I started in the industry more professionally in 2018. My passion is guide work, and I've also cut my teeth reviewing some of the biggest titles of the last five years.

My specialties are action RPGs and FPS games, though my lobby-topping days are behind me. I love getting lost in open worlds and wacky JRPG adventures, and I even enjoy losing 50/50s in the latest gacha craze.

Find my work at ShacknewsRock Paper ShotgunDestructoid, and PC Gamer, with additional content at TheGamerGameSkinnyGamepur, and Eurogamer.
