Personal Statement

Spent most of my career in B2B wholesale operations and logistics. Got into board games about three years ago when a friend dragged me to a local meetup in Chicago. Now I play 2-3 times a week, mostly heavier euros and engine builders. Terraforming Mars and Brass Birmingham are the ones that keep coming back to the table.

I started attending conventions last year and realized how much goes into game design that players never think about. The supply chain side of publishing a physical game is fascinating to me since that is basically my day job. Manufacturing runs, freight from China, warehouse distribution, retail margins. I actually wrote about supply chain optimization for wholesale businesses here: https://wholesale-business-guide.sfo3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/supply-... — a lot of the same principles apply to tabletop game publishing.

Looking forward to connecting with designers and playtesters here. Always happy to give feedback especially on anything related to the business and production side of getting a game from prototype to retail shelf.
