Meet the GMG Squad

It has been my mission statement to find those with the same passion for this genre. To share their incredible intelligent accomplishments.

Grant has been an avid sports fan and video gamer since he was a young child. When he discovered the ultimate union of these two passions came in the form of sport management games he was hooked and has been a huge fan ever since. He began playing Eastside Hockey Manager in college and never looked back. He continues to root for his teams both the real-life version and the digital version. When he’s not writing or gaming he is taking care of the plants and animals on his property. Grant lives in central Florida with his wife, his dogs, horses, chickens, and donkeys.

Though Nick’s work life has taken him a little further away from writing about sports games than he’d like, he still spends as much time as possible with the latest sports sims. Mostly that means the Football Manager and OOTP series, though he’s down to try almost any sports title that gets released for PC or consoles. Nick lives just a few minutes from Chocolatetown, a.k.a. Hershey, PA, with his wife, two kids and a tank full of hermit crabs.

A lifelong sports fan who has spent a large portion of his life writing about people bouncing, throwing, hitting and catching various sportsballs. I am a strategy sports gamer back to the ancient times of Statis Pro games (baseball, football, basketball) and have always had a fascination with sports history, statistics and the art of the transaction. Have bounced around various locations in the U.S. and have lived in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for the last 20 years. Will at some point create my simulation opus — a multi-sport series of simulations set on an entirely fictional world.

I am just a casual gamer playing games that I enjoy and sharing the journey with you. I finally learned about rendering and the music/end screens with YouTube. The games I cover will fluctuate as my interest in them comes and goes. I certainly thank you for dropping by my channel and watching any and all of my video series. I look forward to any feedback or comments that you leave, that makes the channel alive and interesting. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your gaming day. Please consider a sub if you like what I’m doing and to stay up to date on my releases.
