I am a proud father, and a United States Marine Corps Veteran with a passion for gaming. I am a big geek with interests in horror, comics, anime and metal music. I mostly play on PS5 and PC, while gravitating to horror games, RPG's, and Souls/Souls-like's in my spare time. I am apart of the Veteran community Regiment and have helped fundraise for many different Veteran benefit organizations such as Stack-Up, Veteran's Puppy for Life, and Shellback Tech.
