Lee is one of the original founders of NWCGE. He is an Aerospace engineer, father, mountaineer, devoted husband and a big classic gamer. Upon meeting Lee, many are surprised to learn that classic games are his secondary hobby. His main love is in mountaineering and conservation. His climbing resume includes all the major volcanic peaks in Washington state and is always setting his sights on other moutaineering challenges.

His main classic gaming interests are in anything Atari from Pong to the Jaguar. He loves to tinker with applying new technologies to classic videogames. Many in the classic gaming circle consider Lee somewhat of a classic gaming guru, especially in the Northwest. It is a title that he has reluctantly learned to accept.

Hans is long time classic gaming fan with roots that extend to central Europe. Because of this, he has amassed a large collection of classic video games from overseas. His Odyssey2 (Jopac/Vidpac) collection is to die for. You name it, he has it. Despite the fact that he works for Microsoft, he is actually a likeable guy. Contrary to popular belief, Hans does not own large amounts of valuable stocks and is still working on his first million. 

His contributions to the NorthWest classic gaming scene are tremendous. He always has extras to share and is willing to do most anything to help out a fellow gamer in need. Someday, Hans plans to have his classic gaming collection organized and displayed in his house.... as soon as the new wing is added to his mansion.

Rob is another enthusiastic NWCGE staff member who has been an avid participant form the start. He is a devoted husband, father, boater, skier and a major collector of anything classic game related. He has extensive collections of Commodore, TI/99, Apple II, NES and SMS games. He is especially proud of his boxed Bandai Intellivision (released exclusively in Japan).

Rob is known affectionately by local collectors as "papa Mario". He sports a Mario like mustache and is just as lovable. When he isn't playing classic video games, he can usually be found traveling around North Western Washington in an Aid Unit helping distressed folks with medical problems. Many times there have been sightings of the Aid truck parked outside one of the local thrift stores in the area, presumably to help out the less fortunate - or so he states.

He defected from Southern California to come to the NorthWest and so far no one here has had the guts to ask him to leave. Maybe it is because of his kind demeanor and his enthusiasm to do the menial tasks that nobody here wants to do. In any case we all do love him and hope he continues to blend in the Northwest culture. Oh yeah, did we mention he has loads of enthusiasm for video games. Just don't pull his finger if he asks you... he needs it strong and healthy to hold the joystick steady. He is one of the top NWCGE record holders.
