In their own words
Being kind of an extroverted guy, I love being center stage at tournaments and helping kids to learn the game. To help them have fun as they "grow strong in the ways of the Force" is the icing on the cake for me.
The friends I've made and the experiences I have had as a result of this game are too numerous to mention. Thank you Decipher![2]
