My name is Chris. I'm an editor, a game designer, and an SEO consultant, but mostly I write things.
Over the past 14 years, my reported features have appeared in places like Playboy, ESPN, Maxim, VICE, GameSpot, Mashable, and many others. I led a crew of over 50 freelancers as the Sr. Lead Features Editor at /Film, manned the news desk for Digital Trends' entertainment team, co-founded Static Media's original interview program, and produced creative work for MAD Magazine, Loot Crate Interactive, and my own indie comics.My specialties include video game design and history, comic books and superheroes, TV and movies, animation, and the intersection of technology, storytelling, and narrative design. In other words? If it's geeky, I probably write about it.You can reach me at [email protected], and I've put some of my favorite clips below. Check 'em out.
