Jared Rea

Since 2004 I’ve worked just about every angle in the video game industry imaginable, starting as a tester at Atari before moving on to 1UP.com and a career in journalism in 2005. From there I went on to write for dozens of publications, including Joystiq, Wired, and Electronic Gaming Monthly. I ultimately made the decision to move to the publishing side of the business in 2007, working as a community manager for Sony PlayStation, WWE Games and Twitch, until 2014 when I decided to go even further behind the scenes. Today I’m a social media manager at Nintendo of America and very much enjoying my time out of the spotlight.
