I am a YouTube vlogger/internet blogger for a lot of products. Some products are sent to me to review, others I just choose to share with the public. I focus mostly on board games.
I've been involved in the board game community for a while now in different aspects. I've worked at a comic shop, I've volunteered as a play tester for games in prototype stage, and of course, I've played tons of games myself.
