@88WNYLANDER @NHLPlayerSafety $1967 fine for taking out stolarz in game one with a punch to the back of the head?

Wow. Fully funded in 2 minutes. Congrats to the team at #wonderlandamusements. I cannot speak highly enough about the people behind this project. A great illustration on how competition is healthy for the retro gaming space. #kickstarter https://t.co/5bFkkZXCKa

I wanted to take a moment to personally address some recent news: After a rewarding journey, I will be parting ways with Tastemakers (Arcade1Up). It has been an incredible experience working with such a talented team and being part of the gaming community that we’ve built together.

I need you to understand that I’ve spent the last ~6.5 years working on this brand—about 1/5 of my life. I even moved countries to continue to help its growth. Before it even launched, I was responsible for drawing up the plans (with my team) alongside the few employees and partners (agencies, etc.) Tastemakers had at the time to take this product to market. These same plans included working alongside this passionate community I am addressing today. Helping build the 4th biggest brand in gaming is one of the proudest accomplishments of my career, and it couldn’t have been done without the folks reading this right now. All that said, it was time for change.

As this chapter comes to a close, I’m excited to focus on new opportunities and continue bringing innovative gaming and tech products to the masses. I remain passionate about the industry and look forward to contributing in meaningful ways.

For any inquiries, opportunities and questions regarding PR, Business Consulting, Sales, or Guest Appearances, feel free to reach out to me at my work email: [email protected]. I appreciate your continued support, and I look forward to what the future holds. I, of course, will announce my next move(s) in due time (soon ;).

Best regards,
