Software Engineer by day, Star Wars memorabilia collector (1,800+ items), board game and escape room enthusiast by night! Board Games have always been a central part of my family life and having recently married I am looking to keep board games at the heart of my future family, with my wife who shares an equal appreciation of Board Games.

Spending 7+ hours behind a computer screen in the day, Board Games offer a non-technology-based escape in my free time. I enjoy lots of different genres of game, but have been particularly drawn to hidden role player and at home escape room themed games most recently. Games tied to film franchises such as Star Wars and Jurassic Park are also a must for me!

Favourite: Game, Movie, Fictional Character & Food
