Introduction
Hello.

My name is Aaron Gingras. I'm an amateur freelance journalist trying to improve my writing skills and to one day persue a career in writing or game design. I've done some work for Ziff Davis and Hardcore Gaming 101. I currently hold a position over at Metal Gear Solid - The Unofficial Site where I host a weekly podcast.

I'm currently 16 years old and living in Ohio. I've lived here all my life, spending some time in the wilderness of Georgia and the cities of Florida. I have traveled to every state between Ohio and Georgia, and hope to travel to California and New York someday.

By working on the Wikipedia articles of my favorite games and media, I hope to continue my goal of improvement.

Experience
I have had the chance to work with many great people during these last few years, and I hope to continue to meet more as time goes by. I've had the chance to work with James Mielke and Richard Li at Ziff Davis, and would love to work with them again. I've worked with Kurt Kalata, a very dedicated fellow who runs The Castlevania Dungeon and Hardcore Gaming 101, one of my favorite sites. I also enjoy the community over at OnlineConsoles.com and have emmense respect for the admin of that site.

I've written basic design documents for flash games in the past, and lead a team a couple of times before. Unfortunately, none of the games I've designed made it past the planning stage due to lack of team resources. By taking part in minor projects, I hope to gain the experince required to run a full development team through production of a game.
