About Me

I'm been a fairly avid gamer since my first experiences with the Sega Master System. I collect and refurbished vintage systems. I love the well-known NES, SNES and Genesis classics, but I also am an avid gamer of consoles most people aren't aware or fond of, including the CD-I, Virtual Boy and the Jagaur.

Though I still like the old stuff, I also have the three current-gen consoles. I tend to not be a 'fanboy' of a particular game manufacturer, though I do find myself playing my 360 more than my PS3.

I received a bachelor's degree in English from Framingham State College in Mass. I freelanced for several weeklies in the north shore area of Mass until I moved to Central Jersey to take on a full-time writing job.

I have recently begun working on a blog with a friend of mine regarding old school gaming. Most of the stuff that is rolling around in my brain and isn't able to be used in a Brighthub story goes here.

My Experience

Apart from my full-time work, I have freelanced for local newspapers in Mass and New Jersey since 2006. This work mostly included covering local government, school boards, etc.
