He met Joe and agreed to try out Axis and Allies and it was all she wrote from there. He’s been hooked ever since. That was about 8 years ago. He doesn't really have a particular genre of game that he prefers. He really just enjoys the hobby and plays all the games he can.  Top 5 games for me currently are Wonderland Wars, Carnegie, Brass Birmingham, Great Wall, Too Many Bones

Jim was interested in board games from early childhood, starting with the classics like go-fish, Uno, and Yahtzee with his family. 

While in school, board games were a central part to his family dynamic and still are to this day. As he left high school into the adult world board games took a back seat until the premiere of Wil Wheaton's TabletTop. Since then Jim's love of board games as blazed anew having  played games as complex as Star Trek Frontiers but still has not said 'no' to a game of Uno or Yahtzee. All the while on an continuing mission to  bring family and community closer together through board games, the way he grew up.

Hello FlingCon Attendees!!! Like it says my name is John. I am 46yrs young, and I am a Healthcare worker by trade. I have been married to my wife Sarah, going on 23yrs. We do not have any children but that is by design.

When I was younger I was introduced to Dungeon & Dragons and played that for many years. I dabbled in Magic the Gathering in the mid 90’s- early 00’s. I have been playing modern board Games since around 2003. The game that hooked me into modern gaming was The Lord of the Rings TCG. I have met so many wonderful people through gaming. My favorite games are Hegemony and Five Tribes.  I’m also a big fan of most Uwe Rosenberg and Stefan Feld titles.

I also dabble in video games. I really enjoy the Diablo series, League of Legends and I am a recovered World of Warcraft MMO player.

I have attended the last five FlingCons and I love everything about their mission and purpose. I look forward to being part of the team that has delivered so many memorable experiences.

Thank you for trusting all of us with your FlingCon gaming experience. I look forward to meeting/playing games with as many attendees as possible.
