I hold a bachelor's degree in journalism from Ball State University, and as part of that program have successfully completed an unpaid writer internship at a professional publication (The Indianapolis Business Journal). I've also had a lifelong passion for video and computer gaming, participating in gaming and observing news and culture concerning gaming on a daily basis. With the help of a friend I maintain a personal website dedicated to the examination of both individual games and the industry they belong to as a whole, which can be found at playablepress.com. I can be contacted at george.umbarger@gmail.com.
