As a child of the 80s, I have a deep appreciation for classic gaming and all things retro. I love nothing more than spending hours exploring new games and challenging myself to beat my high scores. When I'm not gaming, you'll find me out in the wilderness, camping, hiking, and reconnecting with nature. But above all, I am passionate about giving back to the community, and I dedicate much of my time and money to supporting various charities and causes close to my heart.
