The final reveal for The Bored Gamer is its owner, Ian Swafford!

Ian has over a decade of leadership experience across different customer facing roles and 20 years of being a dungeon master. He rarely sees a wall that outright stops him but instead an obstacle to overcome with proper planning and support from friends. His love of board games and card games is second only to his love of his family and friends. The Bored Gamer is the fruition of a dream since his early teenage years to create an inviting, family oriented space that introduces and shares the joy of gaming to all that comes through its doors. Ian’s hobbies include DMing Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 edition, playing Star Wars Unlimited, building Gunpla, and honoring his late parents by being a good example to his daughter.

In the coming weeks, once the store is opened please stop on by and ask him what it means to him to be a Bored Gamer.

Our next employee reveal is a fan favorite with most of the gaming community, Miss Angela Gorecki!

Coming fresh off the heels of one customer facing job immediately into another, Angie is one of the easiest to get along with, while at the same time, honest and straight foreword individuals you will ever meet. She has long been in customer service, event planning, and management positions with Fortune 500 companies and is lending her experience and expertise to The Bored Gamer as our event planner and outreach director. Her favorite things to do include baking, spending time with her Australian shepherds Auzzie and Laycie, playing board games, and binging the newest dating reality show on whatever streaming service she has.

In the coming weeks come in and check out why here bubbly personality and infectious enthusiasm make her one of our favorite Bored Gamers yet, and be sure to check back tomorrow when the finally employee is revealed.

Our second employee reveal is Barry Avery!

Barry has had a voice and a strong presence in the LGS community for quite some time. His management style has been one of listening to the needs of the customer, identifying how best to help, and following through with a detailed and thorough explanation or resolution, which is why he was the prime candidate for the store manager position. His attitude and drive to put the customer first is what has earned him the opportunity to be a Bored Gamer, as our store manager and Warhammer pro. when Barry isn't enjoying his hobbies, such as playing Riftbound, casual Magic: The Gathering, and teaching others the joy of hobby gaming, he is spending time doing one of the most rewarding jobs he knows of; being a loving father and husband,

Take some time in the very near future to come say hi and see what makes him a Bored Gamer.
