Who's behind NEWGame?

Heath

Heath has been playing board games since he was a kid. He has attended many game conventions over the years and enjoys having a local convention in our community. His head is filled with the rules to many games and he is excellent at game instruction. Except for that one important rule that he always forgets to tell you about. When not gaming he enjoys spending time with his family, especially in the water in any form. He owns his own business and works in the cable television engineering industry. Together with Jennifer, they own Copper Hall, a small event venue, in Downtown Oshkosh.

Jennifer

Jennifer has been playing board games since she met Heath. She has attended many game conventions over the years and helps with NEWGame to keep the boys in line. She enjoys spending time with her family, watching her kids on stage, playing Bunco with her theater mom friends, sewing, and crocheting. She is the Director of Information Technology for Winnebago County. Together with Heath, they own Copper Hall, a small event venue, in Downtown Oshkosh.

Jim

Jim has been playing games his whole life, starting with Payday, Sorry!, Parcheesi and various card games as a child. In high school he discovered the Dungeons and Dragons Red Box and primarily played RPGs for 20 years. For the past 10 years Jim has been playing board games with friends and family. He listens to Norwegian gothic metal, has a healthy sense of humor and has bungy jumped three different times in two trips to New Zealand. Just ask him about it, he'll tell ya!
