Glenn Carrere has been playing games since his dad accidently left the Sega Master System on. He grew up in Los Angeles, the oldest of five children, and discovered the joy of learning and teaching board, video, and card games in his family living room where heated matches of games ranging from Pictionary to Mario Party took place. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelors of Arts in American Studies and his copy of Taboo was responsible for earning half his freshman floor a noise violation.

Glenn moved to Chicago in 2008, after living and working in Oakland for a year and most recently worked at the University of Chicago. During his career at U of C, he worked with students, staff, and faculty to plan events such as Orientation, Family Weekend, and Homecoming and served on the admissions committee for the Chicago Booth School of Business. His work emphasized building student engagement and creating community.

In addition to games, Glenn enjoys comedy, nerdcore, and having far too in-depth conversations about the human experience (read: superheroes). His favorite group game of all time is Guesstures and he’s recently been teaching Codenames to anyone who will listen.
