Wait… What!? 2024 Mojo Nation 100 Most Influential Figures Working in Toy & Game Design Today.

This afternoon as I sat working at my desk, beside my wife, an email came through congratulating me on being one of the Mojo Nation’s 100 most influential figures working in the Toy and Game Design industry. And…

WOW…

Honestly, that one word sort of captures the feeling I have had all evening. So many questions have drifted through my mind as I sat with this. It helps that my profile shows up on the last page. I mean… twelve months ago nobody knew who I was. And honestly, I suspect most people still don’t.

I was shocked a few weeks ago when my wife told me that I showed up at #6 on Mojo Nation’s top 10 list for most read interviews for 2023. That meant so much to me. Not that I need to be recognized in any way. But I hope that my experience fighting a concussion was helpful to someone else.

It was meaningful to me that so many people took the time to read that interview. That interview captured such a personal and life changing experience that I had that led to the creation of Gnome Hollow as it is today. If my experience can help anyone, it was worth it.

Regardless, I am fully floored this evening. And I am grateful for other people and organizations that feel I have contributed to this wonderful industry. I love games. I love the people I get to meet and work with and play games with. It is 100% a privilege.

Thank you to everyone who has taken time to play anything I have created. And I am so anxiously excited to hear what you think of games that are in publisher pipelines for upcoming years!
