Hey everyone! A little about myself, I am a 30 something living in the Twin Cities but originally hailing from Virginia. I've been here about 4 years now and while I don't mind the cold the 6 month winters do get a bit long. Besides that, it is an amazing place to live. I am not married but I have been in a relationship for many years now. No kids, but we do have a very sweet but odd lab named Corby. Besides gaming I like running, travel, cooking, anything outdoors, reading and beer. I am always looking for my favorite beer and love the fact that microbrews are all trendy at the moment.
In terms of gaming, I've been playing MMOs since Vanilla WoW. It was my main game for 5 years but I eventually burned out on the game and the community. I have played a variety of other games including LoTRO, SWTOR, TSW, GW2, Rift and FFXIV. Unfortunately, none of them have really grabbed me and kept me despite liking various parts of them. I typically gravitate towards healer roles although I also really enjoy dps. I like PVE, especially raiding. I would say my "hardcore" days are behind me given that the time commitment to that kind of raiding is just no longer compatible with my life. However, I would say that I am a progression minded guy who still enjoys working towards a goal with a great group of people without the need for those server firsts.
This is actually the first time I've looked for a group prior to starting in a game. I guess I've learned over time that the right group can really make or break a game for me. I've seen Grievance's posts in several games and I've always had a good feeling about y'all and I think it will be a good fit. One of the things that excites me about Wildstar is how they are encouraging the social side of the game in addition to all the other aspects.
Anyway, that is me in a nutshell! Happy to answer any questions and I'll try to jump in TS when I'm gaming to say hey. I am really looking forward to getting to know you guys in game and exploring Nexus together.
