I am the Lead Workshop Moderator for the Cracked Comedy Workshop. I'm the guy you send a message to if you need Workshop help and can't find another mod to help you out. If you send me a PM, you can expect a response closer to the beginning of the week.

IF YOU PM ME LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK, INCLUDE A LINK TO YOUR PITCH.

I'm currently employed as a software engineer at IBM, and in my spare time I work for Cracked and write game reviews for GeekNifty. I also record myself playing video games and upload it to YouTube, mostly Rock Band, Dark Souls, and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.
