Last week I started my new career (Un-Retired Gamer?) as a Gaming Technology Specialist at Montana Children’s Hospital! A huge thanks to @childsplaycharity for making this a reality. I love this job and I am so excited to bring video games to these kiddos in their most time if need. I’m trying to learn everything I can about adaptive technologies so there are no barriers (physical, mental, etc) to having fun. Any game suggestions? Let me know!

I apologize for the radio silence, but happy to announce my return to the interwebs! The move to Montana went great and the game room is almost complete. In fact, the next ARG video will be a full tour of the game room. I am so excited to show you the setup! As we begin 2021, I have decided my resolution is to take my health more seriously and do it now! Lets just say the Wii Fit U made its worst “sad” sound when I stepped on the balance board. I wasn’t surprised at the 32 BMI, but obviously that’s not good at all. I am lucky enough to have a Peloton bike, so between that, Wii Fit U, and some long walks with the dogs, I hope to get this under control and I know that I will. Be on the lookout for the new ARG video on Youtube, I will have that up soon. Happy New Year each and everyone of you!

Montana!!

Sorry for the radio silence but the last couple weeks have been a blur! My family and I moved to Montana, as I discussed in my last YouTube episode and we are still in the process of unpacking. It's cold here but absolutely beautiful. Speaking of beautiful, let me give you a sneak peak of my upcoming game room. The house we purchased had an awesome finished basement which really spoke to me. I plan on having two sides to it: the flat screen side with everything hooked up via HDMI and the CRT side, with all the old school goodness including a VCR. I'm pretty excited and so are the kids!! So stay tuned, a new ARG episode will be coming out in December and hopefully by then I will have everything in place. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
