What game got you hooked on gaming?
For MMOs, that would be vanilla Everquest when I was about 11 years old. For RPGs in general, I always dabbled, but the first one that really got me was Final Fantasy X
What do you do for a living?
I'm an Optometrist in Austin, TX
Tell us 3 interesting facts about yourself:
• I broke my neck in optometry school, lost 40 pounds due to the accident and complications from the surgery, and missed 4+ weeks of school. I was able to catch up the same semester with the help of my professors and friends who had to drive me around everywhere, carry my backpack, and help me with notes. I was in a neck brace for 3+ months!
• I like to attempt to write books for fun on Royal Road!
• I have a huge sweet tooth. Candy and Dr. Pepper. I'm trying to kick the Dr. Pepper habit. It's not going well.
Do you have a Pet(s)?
I have two! A chocolate Lab named Saphira and an "adoption special" named guiness who is a mixture of random things.
If you could travel (teleport) anywhere in the world for just one day, where would it be and why?
Lame answer to this question, but I would teleport home. I'm definitely a homebody, and love my life. I have a great wife, good doggos, and love my job. I don't want to go anywhere! It's not that I don't enjoy vacations or relaxing on the beach, but nothing beats a day at home.
