Background: I'm a life-long gamer, writer, and sports enthusiast. I've logged 15 years as a writer and have written thousands of collective words for PSM, PlayStation: The Official Magazine, Next Generation magazine, Next-Gen Online, Pelajja (a rocking Finnish magazine), N'Gai Croal's Level-up blog, a handful of European magazines (like Edge, OXB, OPM), and more. I love me some 49ers (a tough thing to do these days), SF Giants, and a handful of hoops teams from the Warriors, Lakers, and the Pistons (sorry, but I like more than one team). I prefer watching surfing and skateboarding over hockey, and soccer over golf.
