- Appeared on Vancouver radio station MOJO Radio "Talk Radio for Guys", Paul Myers Show talking about games.

- Spearheaded and organized the CGW/GFW Radio Reunion at PAX Prime 2009, which brought together Jeff Green (Hit Detection; formerly of PopCap Games), Shawn Elliott (Arkane Studios; formerly of Irrational Games), Sean Molloy (former CGW/GFW editor), Robert Ashley (alifewellwasted.com), and Ryan Scott (former CGW/GFW editor, Geekbox.net) for a panel that relived the glory days of the popular gaming podcast from the 1UP Network.
- Attempted to get a 2nd CGW/GFW Radio Reunion off the ground for PAX Prime 2010, 2011, and 2012. Scheduling problems sunk the endeavour; however, 2013 was successful in bringing the crew back together.
- Over the course of months and in 12 sections, completed posting of his "big game idea" titled Project: HISTORY in 2011.
