Andy Robertson was born in Winchester in 1974, and has been helping families get more from video games for 15 years. As a blogger, newspaper journalist for the Guardian and Forbes, broadcaster for BBC, he’s pioneered a perspective on the positives of gaming for children, that isn’t afraid to face the dangers.
From cathedrals to arts festivals, schools to high streets, The One Show to YouTube, he’s helped thousands of parents guide their children’s gaming to health. Now spending more time doing the crossword than on the Xbox, he’s keen to reach non-gaming parents who feel on the back foot about gaming — or just plain anxious about the whole thing.
Andy brings an eclectic set of skills with him. It’s not every games journalist who can claim a theologically training, ultra marathon habit or to have run production for a leading TEDx event. He also enjoys baking, board games and trying out the latest toys for his family’s YouTube channel.
Andy lives in Exeter with his family of five (kids 10,13 and 15). He’s always happy to chat on Twitter @GeekDadGamer or email book@taminggamingbk.com
