Today on Night Watch, we're happy to host Travis Eriksen from Child's Play! Travis, we do a lot of weird bussing things here in the name of fundraising for Child's Play and hope we don't embarrass you too much. Only just enough.

Travis is the Executive Director of Child's Play, and also the orchestrator of the Omegathon at PAX. He joined Child's Play after teaching Middle School math for 15 years, but that was 6 years ago so no pop algebra quizzes please. Tapping his background he has helped Child's Play move toward not only giving games and tech away but also to become a teaching recourse in how to use games as an intentional part of therapy.

He has always leaned toward PC gaming, growing up playing the Sierra classics like Kings Quest, Space Quest, and Police Quest (there were a lot of quests), and when he is not running Child's Play or making up diabolical rules for the Omegathon he is playing games with his two sons or lifting weights (you should tell him he looks big and strong, that's all he really wants in life).
