Hi everyone! I am a person from the Internet who online goes by the name Mescad. I've been online since the early 1990s and have enjoyed watching the pre-web Internet grow and change into what we have today.

Some significant Milestones:

• When I was five years old, our family bought an Atari 2600 gaming console. This began my love of video games, which continues through today. Early favorites were Pac-Man, E.T., Enduro, and especially Pitfall!. I am and always will be a gamer, making time each day to play games.

• From my earliest memories of typing in programs from the back of magazines, I have always been fascinated by computer software. Thanks to some excellent mentors in my teens, I decided to study Computer Science in college. I wasn't a great student, but loved being in the classroom and found my passion for .

• Ten years ago I began making YouTube tutorials for Microsoft's game development platform, Project Spark. I used that framework to teach topics to my audience, many of who were teens. This opened several doors for me and brought me a lot of joy and friendships. Unfortunately, Microsoft closed Project Spark in 2016, but I still value those connections I made.

• When I was around six years old, I received a few small Lego sets for Christmas. This eventually ignited my love of Lego that has grown into a lifelong hobby. Currently I help moderate , which many believe to be the largest gathering of Lego fans in one place on the Internet.

So, ask me anything! I'm not a celebrity, but sometimes people have questions. Now I have answers.
