Who I am

Hi, Iโ€™m Potts. ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

My passion for games was molded in the early 2000s world of message boards and IRC where I made some of the fondest memories and friendships of my life. These days, Iโ€™ve made a career out of growing communities like these and creating welcoming environments where individuals can make their own fondest memories.

Where you can reach me

What else I do

I love playing games that bring people together, which currently includes a potentially unhealthy amount of Destiny and Elite Dangerous.

Iโ€™m also a bit of a PC hardware nerd and Iโ€™m very experienced in building computers and mechanical keyboards. No, I wonโ€™t fix yours.

My girlfriend and I have several pets, all of which will starve if you donโ€™t hire me. Here is a picture of the dumbest one.

Pictured: Miso, the dumbest one.

I know youโ€™re probably trying to read over my past experience and this image keeps distracting you, and that isnโ€™t really great for the flow of the page, but I just need more people to see it.
