I am The Star Smasher.I'm a gamer who's passion for people and the gaming industry is immense! I love helping my peers in this field express themselves to others, as well as networking with talented, passionate, and driven people. My 8 years of experience with business to business relations and 15 years of management is an asset to up-and-coming Indy developers, and I'm never shy when it comes to sharing my knowledge! When I'm not gaming or working on a project, I'm normally interacting with others in person or online and continuing the discussion of the current video game culture.
Currently I'm working on several projects, including video game narrative, but I'm always looking for new opportunities. Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] if you're interested in discussing working together! |
Gaming
I'm a gamer from back in the glory days of the Nintendo Entertainment System and the original Game Boy. I focus on games with narrative; you can't beat a great story! But I enjoy games of all types and styles...especially ones that offer a challenge! Occasionally you can find me in a competitive game like Overwatch or Battlefield, but I'm more interested in co-op. Prepare for "jolly cooperation!"

Writing
I enjoy writing both on a professional and recreational level. I have several published articles concerning the video game industry, as well as a few hosted on "The Mighty" about depression and misophonia. I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to use my word-crafting skills! In addition to writing in the digital realm, I also enjoy calligraphy...nothing quite like putting pen to paper!

Leading
I've been a leader as long as I can remember; from running 4 different organizations in my high school years to leading a team of professionals in the past several years, I always find myself coaching and guiding others. My passion has always been "people;" I enjoy training and helping others reach their potential and excel in areas they thought they couldn't. Seeing my coworkers be successful is my success!

Help Fund New Projects!
If you've gotten this far, you probably enjoyed what you've read so far. But my ambitions are larger; I'm working on game narrative, live streaming, and a bunch of other things I'm keeping tight-lipped until later. Help me make these projects a reality by supporting me in one of a couple ways:

COFFEE!!!
While I'd LOVE to have a cup of coffee with you in person, it's probably unrealistic (unless you're within 20 minutes from my house, then I'm game!) If you'd like to help me stay awake and sane, this is by far the best option! DONATE
The Star Smasher enjoys what he does and offers his blog for free, but we all know life is a cruel mistress (like Dark Souls.) My field is always changing, and it definitely helps to have up-to date hardware, the latest software, and the ability to keep the lights on! All donations are appreciated! |
