About:

Garth has carried an intense – some might say unhealthy – fixation on the written word ever since the other kids in his third grade class turned a short story he wrote into a series (even though he stole most of the plot from Ninja Gaiden). He applies his writing skills and training at ForeFront by taking the lead on content writing and SEO for the majority of our web design projects, as well as business blogging, social media management, proofreading others’ work, and quietly judging his coworkers for their typos and spelling errors. Sometimes he sings. Outside of the office, Garth pursues a random and nonsensical series of personal interests, which include craft beer, pro wrestling, creating trivia quizzes via Sporcle.com and retelling stories you’ve already heard 100 times, as well as some boring stuff like hiking and cycling. But to be honest, he spends most of his free time trying to keep up with his son, who is pure energy, like the antagonists from Titan A.E.
