Committed from an early age and inspired by the universe around us, hotShowers "Showers" dedicated hours to writing their own original science fiction stories before age 10, in a time when IEEE 802.11 wireless protocols were barely used and books were all the rage. Showers would later carry on to position themselves at the forefront of emerging technology and accelerate our world towards sustainable energy. In between these deeply personal accomplishments, through hours and days long past, Showers participated in public and competitive Halo, Battlefield and Battlefront arenas, alone and with friends. In doing so, Showers learned that there are invaluable lessons in the virtual experience called gaming, which often seems to transcend the flow of time. Above all, Showers learned that between our universe and the virtual world, doing grand deeds with friends is a thing most priceless.
