About Me
I am an avid gamer and have been since I can remember, my honest first memory is sitting in the living room playing Super Mario brothers since then my love for games has grown into a near obsession. I play multiple genres but I like role playing games above any others as I enjoy a strong story with well written characters. I have two daughters who are a handful but amazing and practice martial arts in the little spare time I manage to get.
I always make time to read mostly I read science books as i have a great fondness for physics, my favorite book being science of the impossible by Dr Michu Kaku. I also read science fiction, fantasy and thrillers and lots of game related books how to use a program to blogs to books on pure design theory.
