Though my primary work at RPGFan has been in soundtrack reviews, I first came here to work on the now-extinct Movies section with now-former editor Zone Pharaoh. After that, I took over the soundtracks section (founded by Jason Walton), posted 100-some reviews, then took a 2-year hiatus starting in May 2001. As of April 2003, I came back to assist my pal Lucy with the Soundtracks section, enjoying the freedom of not having to manage a section myself. A few months later, I lost that freedom and am now in charge of the Soundtracks section (Lucy went on to form a beautiful site, Chudah's Corner). In the beginning of 2005, Mike Salbato handed me the never-ending, thankless job of managing the release dates section. I also contribute regularly to our pile of game reviews, though my first love will always be videogame music.
As far as personal life goes, I listen to a lot of music, I play a bit of music, and I write a bit of music. I went to college to attain a degree in anthropology from a private (Christian) liberal arts school. I like all sorts of Asian culture and cuisine (which helps when you're a vegetarian). I can speak a fair amount of German, and I hope to be able to speak Japanese someday. My wife and three kids support me in my endeavors to spread e-Love to the world through my humble writings on this site.
Feel free to send me your questions/comments/praise/hatred, and I will likely respond. I consider myself a veteran in the "import soundtracks" field, so don't be shy in sending your tough questions! Go on now, do it! Send it! |
