Be a gamer, but more importantly be a Dad!

I am like many of you. I'm a thirty something dad with a family. I have a full time job that takes me to work from 8 to 5 every weekday. And also like many of you, I am a video game enthusiast.

This isn't something I have always been proud of, but over the past few years I've realized that it is what I enjoy and I've had many more positive experiences as a result of being a gamer than negative.

Some dads like to build things in their garages. Some like restoring cars. Many like to golf, fish and hunt. These are all very rewarding hobbies and I salute those of you that enjoy these things. Indeed part of my reason for creating this blog is to point our that there are many activities available (even for a dad gamer).

Most importantly if you are a dad gamer first and foremost you are a father and most likely a husband as well. That of course is your #1 priority and my hope for this blog is to create a community with fellow gamers that share that value.

So thank you for stopping by and feel free to share your thoughts and ideas.
