Episode 69 : eSports And Family Entertainment - Marcus Howard

When he was six, Marcus Howard got Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas, and he’s been playing and building video games ever since. Video games inspired Marcus’ interest in technology, and in the 9th grade, he started coding his own video game on the TI-83+ graphing calculator.

Today, Marcus is CEO of the esports education startup MetArena, and the President of Tampa Association of Gaming, a non-profit dedicated to growing the gaming industry and STEAM youth programs in the Tampa Bay region. Marcus consults with universities and businesses around the world, helping them use video games to digitally engage their entire communities.

For this podcast, Marcus and his daughter give great insight and have fun with Dylan during this podcast.
