ABOUT ME

Kevin Gerstner

Known History

St. Louis

>>>> Missouri >>



Ask my parents, they'll tell you my first love was my home PC. My favorite games were Backyard Baseball and Blues' Clues, and I'm proud to have grown up in the early stages of the modern internet. I was born in 1999 right before all of the computers were supposed to explode. Glad that didn't happen.

I created a board game with my best buds while we all worked at a glue factory. We marketed the game on Kickstarter and raised about $3000 which we were really proud of at the time. We also built a raft out of barrels and playtested on the Lake of the Ozarks (before we got pulled over by the coast guard – oops 😅).

After moving place to place, I decided to settle down in Raleigh, NC. The City of Oaks is treating me well and I love hiking and visiting different breweries in the area. I'm excited to see what this next chapter brings!
