I can’t express how satisfying it is to have people appreciate my feeble attempts to share my experiences with others and am overjoyed that others find what I do helpful and entertaining.

But I cannot accept any accolades without acknowledging the much more substantive luminaries in this hobby and industry. There are way too many to list, but a few are worthy of note:

Clay Harrell – aka “The Pinball Ninja”, “Shaggy” – one of the most knowledgeable and benevolent people in the entire industry. I would never have gotten anywhere if it weren’t for his guides as well as personal support. His expertise is only matched by his generosity.

Tim Arnold – What a character. I love how Tim is basically Tim and he’s going to live life his way and on his terms. He is an inspiration. I hope more people take the time to understand and appreciate this man’s unique genius.

The great people at Pinside, KLOV and RGP – The online pinball communities are a fountain of information and support and I’m proud to be a part of these great resources, as well as regularly tap into them when I get in a jam.
