Staff

Name: Rod
Title: Chief Executive Officer
Hobbies/Interests: I am a Family guy and when not with my family I have many hobbies to fill my time. I enjoy Racquetball, Skiing and Jet skiing (getting big air jumping waves on Lake Erie). I also love to travel when possible and hit a lot of music festivals during the summer. When I am at home you can be sure I am drinking good beer, and playing some Warcraft III Frozen Throne or Playing Pinball.
Gaming: I started playing video games in 1978 with the release of Space Invaders. Then in 1979 I got hooked on Asteroids. There have been many games I have played over the years with Starcraft in 97-98. & Warcraft III Reign of Chaos in 2002 being the most influential games for me.

Title: Site Manager
Hobbies/Interests: I am married with four kids so family life and working to support my family take up most of my time. I enjoy the typical family stuff and my kids are a huge part of my life. I am a movie junkie and constantly have one playing in the background when I'm gaming or working. I have been reading Fantasy books since I was a teen, Dragonlance is probably my favorite series.

I worked as a Business Analyst for a Fortune 100 company for 11 years and eventually grew tired of "Corporate America" so I left to follow a dream. I opened a Gaming Center and Internet Cafe which flourished. As MMO's developed I became interested in the virtual currency market place and started dabbling in the trading of virtual goods. I eventually fell into a job with one of the original American gold selling sites and I have been in the business ever since.
Gaming: I have been playing games since the days of the commodore 64 and Atari 2700. In 1979 I received an Intellivision game console for Christmas; I was 7yrs old... that marks the beginning of my addiction to video games (thanks Santa).

The games that have consumed me over the years are Zelda, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Decent, Duke Nuke'em, Quake, Ultima Online, Counter strike, Resident Evil, Age of Empires & Eve Online. By far the most addicting games I have ever played were the original Zelda and World of Warcraft. I have played wow since beta and have 5 level 80 toons.

Title: Sales and Marketing Rep
Hobbies/Interests: I am on the gaming forums a lot and enjoy debating different topics with other forum junkies. I have a gaming blog and spend a lot of time on that. I live in a pretty cool house with 3 roommates and we are all big into MMO gaming. My friends call me the walking wow-wiki and I take pride in that. I am a huge Star Wars fan, give me a light saber and some open space and I am good to go. Adult swim is the best thing on TV since color televisions :)

I was a regular at the Gaming Center Joe owned and when I was 15 I started working there. Then when Joe landed his first job at an RMT site a few years later he hired me and three of my friends (josh, gibs & matt) to come work with him. The five of us have been working together for a while and make a good team.
Gaming: I started gaming on the SNES. I love to play pretty much any type of game aside from sports games. Nothing against sport games... sports have just never has been my thing. I’d rather kill stuff.

I am an avid World of Warcraft player and have been playing since day one. I pvp a lot and belong to an end game raiding guild. I play Alliance on the best server ever Mannoroth.

Title: Sales and Marketing Rep
Hobbies/Interests: Aside from gaming I enjoy my music. Underground R&B and Rap are what I like most. I am always looking for something new with an original sound. I have great collection of old school console games. I'm known as the "techy" one in my group of friends; there aren't too may PC related issues that I can't figure out.
Gaming: I'm a gamer for life, grew up on Nintendo and genesis but ended up enjoying almost all console's and PC gaming in general. Although I have enjoyed the mmo's quite a bit, my heart remains loyal to Console gaming. I have been tearing up a lot of the free to play games that have the old fashioned console feel. I spend a lot of time guild raiding end game dungeons in wow. I play Alliance side on Mannoroth.

Hobbies/Interests: I have a passion for cooking; it's a great escape for me. I love spicy food so the hotter the dish the better. I think the thing I enjoy most would be gaming while I'm chillin with my homies. Some of the guys on the AFK Loot staff share a sweet pad so I am over there playing games all the time. Music is also a big part of my life especially hip hop.
Gaming: I am a life time gamer and still play a ton of old school games. Sega Genesis is the console we have been playing lately. Although World of Warcraft is my mainstay game I have left it for months on end to return to old favorites or check out new games. Like most of these guys here I play on Mannoroth Alliance faction.
