Recap of my personal and new professional gaming life form 2014 to present hitting the highlights.

Sense the passing of my family and my battle to just being able to feed myself and clothe my self and have a place to live, I kinda of got out of gaming till 2014 concentrating on rebuilding my life from scratch again with no money, no job and no family to help me out. I came to Tucson to start my life over again at 43. It took me a while however thanks to Salvation Army and Primvera Foundtion they help me to pave away out of my poverty. I would show up from time to time to play games and run games for local game stores in town. But nothing like I had been doing in previous years.

In 2014 a new game store opened and I went to offer my serves as a game master for team to run games, my time was ending at Primivera and I needed to find a new place to live. Andrew Kallen offed me a roommate situation with him in June of 2015 I have been his roommate up until now. He is one of the co general managers of Isle of Games where i now run a weekly D&D game every Wednesday night from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM located at 7747 E. Broadway Blvd, Tucson AZ 85710.

Then in October 2015 I got involved in the convention scene trying to provide good gaming content to a struggling convention a local Scfi, Fantsy and Horror convention known as Tuscon. So I volunteered to run rpg games for Tuscon 42 and they accepted my help. They then invited me to come to a meeting of the Baja Arizona Science Fiction Association (BASFA), a Southern Arizona section 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. The primary focus of TusCon is science fiction, fantasy and horror, but we also pay attention to art, animation, science, media and gaming.  TusCon is an annual science fiction convention sponsored by the Baja Arizona Science Fiction Association (BASFA). So I becomae a member and was made staff to head up Table Top and LARP for Tuscon 43. However just prier to that convention they gave me the title of Table Top and LARP Game Coordinator  for Tuscon 43 and have retained me for Tuscon 44 happening November 10th thorugh the 12th of 2017.

If you want to get Tickets for Tuscon 43 go here to Tuscon Registration. Also In order to maintain TusCon's atmosphere as a small, friendly, quality convention experience, memberships for TusCon 44 are limited to 500 total. Once this cap is reached, registration will close, and no more memberships will be sold.

I strongly recommend purchasing your membership(s) as soon as they become available, to avoid disappointment should memberships sell out before the convention.
