Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
Yup, more than 30 years ago.
How is social media changing news?
Social media has become a fertile ground for distributing news without requiring a significant financial investment.
How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?
I can respond to pitches faster through email rather than instant messaging.
What's your favorite social network?
Facebook and LinkedIn
When's the best time to pitch you?
Any time between 4 AM EST and 12 Noon EST
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
There was that time I was given a press release about a gaming mod that didn't have any exact details. I had to drill down a little bit.
What's your favorite drink?
Beer, of course.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
I will likely be outside with my DSLR, practicing photography and photojournalism. I also do independent filmmaking and acting as well.
Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?
I like reading articles from ScreenRant and GameRant when it comes to films and gaming. I also like to follow Forbes and Bloomberg.
What's the most common misperception about your beat?
We would be happy to play just any game. We do have our preferences as gaming journalists.
