Erick joined Child’s Play in 2014 after working for UW Medicine for 10 years as an IT Analyst. This
background gives him a good insight into the challenges hospitals have in adopting new technologies.
Has attended over 30 PAXen as a fan, then Enforcer, staff, and now as Exhibitor. Plays games regularly
including a regular Pathfinder game with a group he’s been with for over 25 years. Started gaming in the
early 80s with Intellivision and D&D and played Nintendo while a patient for a week at Seattle Children’s
in the 90s.

Now he helps partner hospitals find ways to use games and technology to not just distract their patients,
but actually help them heal.
