Lake Leafty – Owner
Lake was a pharmacy tech in just about every facet you can think of including as a veteran of the United States Air Force. He’s also a husband to his wonderful wife with whom he has been blessed to be the father of 5 great children. Due to circumstances beyond his control he got thrown into the world of Tabletop gaming. As an overachiever he couldn’t just sit there quietly playing games. So he started podcasting about games in May of 2017. Ever since then has been slowly trying to grow his evil regime starting with The Giveaway Geek and now EBG.

Thomas Shepherd – Reviewer
Grew up loving to solve puzzles, play games. In younger years he had fun playing pencil games, playing D&D with friends, and hanging out with others. His favorite thing to do was to make puzzles, mazes, word games, picture games, etc. Sadly his career took him in a different direction. Gaming came back into his life, though, about 15 years ago & held onto it since. He enjoys designing games and has 9 published titles, through, Toresh Games. Sadly he wasn’t able to sustain the company. He would love to see a return to games as the best social media platform for the masses.

Greame Johnston – Reviewer
I was born in Scotland in the before times and today I’m a teacher, which comes in handy when managing my rowdy, emotionally challenged, adolescent chums at the games table. And, obviously, I’m also a geek! But you don’t care about all that. You’re here for the games, right?
The first boardgame that was mine was Parker Bros ‘Escape from Colditz’, which ignited a passion that now empties my wallet regularly. I wouldn’t recommend ‘…Colditz’ to you now but, ahh, the memories. I have owned more than 1,000 games since then(1303 to be precise-did I mention that I’m a geek?) and played a whole lot more.
In those carefree days of sunshine, glam rock and Scotland at World Cups I played a load of war games- Euro games hadn’t been invented yet. Now, I’ll play almost anything if I think it’ll be fun. Shout out to Happy Salmon. As for my favourite game? Today, it is Stationfall. But tomorrow I might give you a different answer.
