I set the fastest lap record driving a McLaren 720S at Silverstone Circuit for the Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw event.

Favorite Games

‣ X-Wing: Alliance is the greatest Star Wars game.
‣ Battlefield and Call of Duty can both be awesome.
‣ X-Men Legends 1 and 2 are better than everything that came later.
‣ I miss the early StarCraft and Command & Conquer days.
‣ Morrowind is the best Elder Scrolls game.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Setting up 16-player Xbox system link LAN parties in the summer with my friends, sending out custom newsletters to organize.

A gaming achievement that stands out is in playing Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike with my friend. We played the 2-player co-op mode based on Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader and the final Death Star level was so difficult that it took hours, both of us using maxed out speciality ships except for this mission where I had to fly the Millennium Falcon on the escape. When we finally achieved all the requirements for the gold medal, we not only got that, we got some special medal which represented us beating the internal devs' record. This was the ultimate and hard fought victory I will never forget.
