MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ME:
Well as you read above, my name is Sean. I'm currently 30 years old. I'm a U.S. military veteran (of a little over 5 years). I served in the U.S. Navy as a cryptologic technician (coded communications/intelligence) and spent some time working at the National Security Agency doing 'Computer Network Attack' for the Department of Defense. So as you can guess, I'm a bit of a computer geek. I've just recently got heavier into programming, but my technical background is essentially in networking and server management. I'm now migrating towards business administration and internet entrepreneurship.

When I was in my early 20s I started playing with the idea of owning my own website. That idea grew into the idea of wanting to own my own webring (collection of websites), which in turn got me into hosting, which in turn got me into creating websites and businesses.

I met my business partner Lee (Nightma12) through Renegade a few years back. He was kind of doing the same thing and we decided to merge businesses and communities. The end result was a stronger Tsunami Gaming and the birth of our network.

These days I am a full-time student and entrepreneur. I'm studying business while trying to establish a variety of businesses. Some of them still include the TGN (ie. this website) and other gaming-related websites.

I'm very down to earth and approachable. I believe in the spirit of democracy and hearing all sides of the story. That's why I've created TGN to be so democratic and ethical. But I also believe that part of being a great leader is to stand firm and "discipline" where needed. Many people in the world of gaming have traditionally looked at me as a loud-mouthed kid, but they've never got to know my background and experience. However, I think most of my staff and active members here would agree that (1) I am a really nice guy that is down to earth and fair, and (2) that I get things done.

It is my hope to build and grow a gaming network that will positively influence the gaming industry as a whole. And all of you are just as an important part of that effort as I am. I believe that leadership doesn't make someone more important. I believe that it's simply their strength and role amongst the team. Some people are born leaders and some are born followers. But that doesn't make any of us more important than the other. We all serve our purposes within the team.

If at any time you need to speak with me confidentially or would simply like to get to know me better, you can email me (same as my MSN address) or contact me on MSN. I've made sure to keep a Gmail account so that none of my senior leaders (or even Nightma12) can get between you and me. I'm here to walk amongst the trenches with you as a fellow gamer.

Please take the time to get to know me and add me on Facebook and MSN. You're part of history. Enjoy every minute of it!
