Bruce Brown (Host)
Howdy! My name is Bruce Brown, and I am the primary host of Board Game Impact. I seek to provide thoughtful content in order to help advance the board game hobby by sharing the impact that related content has for your gaming group.
I have been playing games since a very young age, but was introduced to the greater board game hobby in 2012. Though tout my life I have lived in New York, Ohio, California, and Texas and have traveled to all 7 continents. I currently work at a large research University where I teach leadership courses, and am making progress towards a Ph. D. in Human Resource Development.
Gaming for me usually comes though bi-weekly Meetups, playing games at home with my wife, having friends over, playing some solo games, and through attending game conventions.
You can find me on BoardGameGeek.com as BruceBrown, and connect in other ways through Facebook and Instagram (below).
Josh Isringhausen (Co-Host)
I first got into board gaming six years ago in graduate school and have found a new home and passion for bringing friends and strangers to the table to experience this incredibly rewarding hobby.
I typically attend weekly gaming MeetUps and host occasional game nights with friends while also attending board game conventions when possible. Outside of the podcast I spend my time working as a university administrator engaged in student development and leading investigations into student misconduct. When possible I also seek to share my passion of board games with my students and explore how board games can encourage growth and learning outside of the classroom.
