About
James is a writer at Kineticist. He’s been playing pinball since he could reach both flippers on his dad’s Paragon (not an easy feat), has been playing competitively since he could drive himself to tournaments, and routinely talks ears off about any and all sorts of pinball minutia. Aside from pinball, he works as a software developer, collects board games, and spends his winter weekends skiing all over his home of New England.
