Acerca del autor: Dustin Hansen was raised in rural Utah, surrounded by the great outdoors. But even the beautiful mountains couldn't keep him away from his passion, video games.

Now he's working on the future, creating virtual reality experiences that blend real life with the digital world. Dustin and his family live in rural Utah once again, where he is the current king of the family Mario Kart circuit.
