How It All Began

Hey! I'm in my mid 20's living in central Florida and figured I'd add myself to this community. I can't say for certain when I started liking pinball but I can only say that I was very young and started on Pokemon Pinball. I absolutely loved the skill in the game and how you needed to make certain shots to achieve higher scores. As I said, that was a long time ago, and since then, I've not played it. I've got to thank a Twitch streamer by the name of LethalFrag for rekindling my love for pinball after he started up a Pinball "aftershow" on Saturdays. It really made me want to learn more about the mechanics, terminology, and skill with the hobby. I can honestly say I'm very new to the hobby.

I've attended Freeplay Florida 2015 and recently 2016 and had a tremendously exciting time. I got the chance to see what pins play well, see some titles I've not seen before, and also see some more familiar ones as well as new promotional pins. Tons of fun! I also found out I'm mostly in love with older (but not too old) pins from the late 70s to early 90s era and usually seek out Williams, Bally and Gottlieb games. I'm in the market to hopefully buy a pin of my own as a project but I've had little to no luck finding such.
