Axiem Assistant Head of Essence of War Team

Name:

Michael

Where are you from and where do you live right now?

United States - Washington State

What do you do for living?

Entrepreneur; Executive Management; Business & Policy Consulting;

Since when were you in the Hobby?

2001.

How did you get into the Hobby and what have you done since then?

Family got me hooked, and community kept me coming back for more. Hosted and co-hosting local tournaments for GW stores and game clubs.

I started following Swedish and ETC systems as a way to get a more-balanced game for tournaments, and the last two/three years, I really focused on improving my play. In 2014, I decided to try for the U.S. Masters and made the cut, although sadly wasn't able to attend.

Which armies do you play?

High Elves for life! Played Woodelves for 13 years; Lizardmen and Bretonnians for 5 years each.

Why do you support the 9th Age project?

GW had a tremendous opportunity, which they squandered. I'm here to help design a system that can support it's own weight, grow organically, and be a 'living-game' that will continue to evolve over time.

I'm very excited to be involved in this project, and will perform my role to the best of my abilities.

What is your personal role in the 9th Age project team?

CURRENT: Highborn Elves, ACS; FORMERLY Armybook Committee - Elves of Light
