About
Destructoid's Features Editor. Chad loves the Super Nintendo, pinball, Pixar, and dolphins. His dream is to one day be taken to the undersea kingdom of the dolphins and made their new king. Since that may not happen right away, he bides his time writing features for Destructoid and managing all of the original content that is posted to the site.

He absolutely adores Destructoid and the incredible community that goes along with it. The site has truly changed his life for the better.

If you are reading this, you will be spared when the dolphins take over the world. I give you my word.

What I'm playing:
Darksiders II
New Super Mario Bros. 2
