About Tucker Taussig
Tucker fell in love with gaming back in 1997 when his friend's older brother showed them how to get the magic flute in Super Mario 3. He has a degree in game design, one published novel, another on the way, and two Alaskan Huskies who offer constant feedback.
You can find Tucker on the Front Range of Colorado, where he still considers himself an avid skier, even though he only hits the slopes twice a season, and an avid drummer, even though it's been a decade since he was last onstage.
