    There’s nobody better than Sara at connecting retailers and fans with the games they’ll love.

  • Nathan Thornton

    Copywriter & Editor

    When we told Nathan he’d be able to research and write about all 63 national parks, he felt like it was the job he was born to do. He jumped at the chance to dig up interesting stories and fun facts for the parks cards, having spent many happy days on the trail. His favorite moment from the past year was hiking the Narrows in Zion National Park with his wife and two kids.
