Tell us about your history in TAW.
Just want to keep it short and sweet. Joined in April 2004 in the Battle Field Division. Transferred to Delta Force Division shortly after. Positions Held Delta Force - DI Delta Force - HDI Delta Force - Match Coordinator World of Warcraft - XO World of Warcraft - SO World of Warcraft - CO World of Warcraft - DO Vanguard - DO Digital Combat Simulator - SUL/DC Call of Duty: Ghost - SUL/DC 10 YEAR CLUB BOUND.
What was your initial impression of TAW?
When I joined TAW, I thought, "What is wrong with all these freaking obsessive morons?" But, after a couple practice nights, I fell in love and never looked back since.
Tell us about your division, and what you do there.
Vanguard Division - Currently I'm the Division Officer (the low man on the totem pole). In Vanguard we look for potential games to be brought into TAW and spun-up. My primary focus in the Horizon Division within Vanguard. Here in Horizon we help games find leadership, help with any aspects of admin that might need to be done.
What would you like someone considering joining TAW to know?
TAW isn't for everyone. If you're a sailor, you won't fit in. But, if you can control yourself, most people find that they love it and call this place home.
Do you have any special hobbies or activities outside of TAW?
Cooking, PS4 Gaming, Bar hopping with friends.
If you could change one thing about TAW, what would it be?
While there are several things that I would like changed, but one of the most annoying things to me is the attendance system. Not the whole thing, but maybe have it a little more strict. Too many times have I seen people that come to 1 practice a month and then get's promotions and medals. Logging in once a month keeps their TS account active and doesn't show on the inactive list.
Tell us about some of the people you've met during your time in TAW.
Other, than my real life friends that I have brought to TAW, I haven't met any other TAW members. So many live near me. NORTH DALLAS.
What's your favourite thing about TAW?
The wide range of people and cultures. I learn new things all the time because of the variety of "Characters" TAW has.
How does TAW affect your offline life?
It doesn't affect me like it did so many years ago. I use to let it stress me out and finally learned that once I'm off TS, TAW is turned off.
What might our readers be surprised to know about you?
Co Founder of Dirty *** Central.
What's your favourite retro videogame? Why?
Space Invaders
If you could choose any TAW member to be stranded on a desert island with, who would it be and why?
Any TAW Member. Because when it comes down to it. I would eat them before they ate me.
Do you admire any celebrities? Why or why not?
NNo. Celebrities in most cases have psychological issues. Look at Brittney Spears, Michael Jackson, Charley Sheen. Now, yes all are outstanding in their fields, they have way too many screws loose. No one, IMO, should idol celebrities. Now liking what performance they might do is one thing, but saying I want to be like them is like saying I want to dangle your kid from a balcony while shaving your head and beating your wife. Enjoy.
Who do you believe is going to be the most influential figure in gaming in the next three years?
There is not way to really tell. While a lot of things look so promising, that isn't always the case. It's best not to make the prediction and just wait and see how things play out.
