I ran a publishing company called 8th Summit, which raised nearly one million in revenues from
kickstarter alone.
8th Summit's storytelling tabletop games, Agents of SMERSH , Defenders of the Last Stand , & Run Fight
or Die have all been nominated for various board game awards. Two of the listed games are being
prepared for 3rd Editions, licensed to new publishers.
Mythos Tales has been optioned (by the creator of the show Buffy ) for a possible TV show. I authored
much of the original writing in Mythos Tales and all of Agents of SMERSH.

FORGOTTEN SILVER, INC – Lawrenceville, GA
Tabletop game publishing company (DBA: 8TH SUMMIT). I managed all projects, directed
manufacturing, ran warehouse, and created some design work in my name. We raised close to a million
on kickstarter and published a dozen original titles. Several of our games are still in print but have been
transferred to other publishers for reprints.
8th Summit's games have localized translated versions in Japanese, German, Russian, & Italian
Reason for dissolution of business: Market Saturation. This year we expect over 7000 new board games
will be released.

I owned an online and print mail order DVD business for 6-7 years. Originally the name of the company

VSOM was listed for ~20 years in Leonard Maltin's Guide as having the largest collection of hard to find
videos (over 10k).
