Hello Odyssey Family,
We want to introduce another SUPER AWESOME TEAM MEMBER: Evan Bridges! Evan returns to us and is a familiar face to many because he was on staff with Game Empire. Evan is one of our board game experts. Let’s meet Evan!

Int: where did you go to school?
E: I have a bachelor’s degree in Science in Radio, TV, Film, from The University of Texas at Austin.
Interviewer: why is your nickname “the Board Game Whisperer?”
Evan: (laugh) it comes from the “Dog Whisperer” with Cesar Millan ?. You see, I absolutely love board games and I have a way of whispering suggestions in people’s ears.

Int: Can you tell us a favorite memory you have about working at Game Empire?
E: I have fond memories of speaking with Chuck right before he went to visit my home state of Texas. It was a blast to work with him and I learned a lot about the gaming industry from him.

E:I love sports (particularly Texas sports)?, professional League of Legends, and locating the lost colony of Roanoke ?
Int: Any final comments you want to say to our gaming community?
