I’ve always had video games in my life. But there are a few that stand out as waypoints on my journey to where I am now. From watching my mum play Tomb Raider, to falling in love with Pharaoh Queen of the Nile these games have offered some unique first-hand learnings that stay with me in my work today.

I have always enjoyed games that enable you to explore a vast open world. This started with Minecraft at a young age but developed as I discovered other games that let you not only find another world but also hints of the people who lived there.

From a young age, John has enjoyed competitive video games, however, it took a while for him to find the patience and perseverance to improve at them. He has always had a busy life with various hobbies and pursuits and has had to fit video games around that, but over the years he has worked at them and built considerable progress.
