In an admittedly reluctant yet progressive move, Dave was brought on as Handsome Phantom's first and probably only Canadian Correspondent. An expert on all things Maple Syrup, Curling, and good looking world leaders, he contributes about as much to this website as his home land contributes to relevant international current events. As a generally nice guy, he has a hard time saying anything critical about video games, but he really does love them and the joy they've brought for his 30 years. Sorry.
