Who We Are:

We are game fanatics from in and outside the industry that meet regularly in person to talk about games in approachable, cost effective, low pressure settings.

Our goal is to provide opportunities for professionals to geek out and exchange ideas about games with one another. We’re not biased to level, title, or company, and we don’t put you into a box. Who says that an engineer cannot have ideas about story?

Who We Are:

We are game fanatics from in and outside the industry that meet regularly in person to talk about games in approachable, cost effective, low pressure settings.

Our goal is to provide opportunities for professionals to geek out and exchange ideas about games with one another. We’re not biased to level, title, or company, and we don’t put you into a box. Who says that an engineer cannot have ideas about story?

We do this because many folks don’t have consistent opportunities to mingle outside of their department or company. We also do this because networking can be intimidating and limited to expensive conferences.

What We Believe:
Games are the future: the most interactive storytelling medium out there. In order to become leaders in this space, we can only benefit from coming together and exchanging ideas.

But there aren’t enough in-person opportunities that are built for this. We believe that by meeting face to face and sharing our most passionate views on gaming, that we will create a camaraderie in the industry that produces the best games ever made.

We believe community is strength. Show less

- and get the feedback they need to do their best work.

10/20/22 - I spoke at the weekly meeting for business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi - Lamda Sigma Chapter.

Students learned about Twitch, how I got to work there, and what I do as a Creative Project Manager. Many of these students were in marketing, so learning about this role was helpful in understanding what kind of work is available in the field.
