Meet Brad Wilcox, Executive Director of Global Customer Service. Gaming and Technology is his passion and when he is not getting yelled at by the wife to put down the mouse and get off the computer (EQ2 is his game of the moment) and mow the lawn, he is spending time and money on collectible card games or sports trading cards and action figures.
