About the Panel
Paul DiTroia: An avid game collector originally from New York, DiTroia moved to the Midwest in 2001. Besides playing and collecting board games, his hobbies include cooking, reading, and travelling and spending time with his daughter.

Walter Stewart: A lifelong gamer, Stewart has worked professionally in the game industry for over 10 years. A chance encounter with Hero Quest as a wee youth set awoke a love of a variety of nerdy pursuits, with games at the forefront. He is currently the general manager at TableTop Game & Hobby in Overland Park, Kansas.
