Hey, ReviverSofters!
This is Steve Horton. I’m the new guy in charge of content and social media here at ReviverSoft. I come from a writing background, with a degree in professional writing from Purdue (Boiler up!). I’ve had jobs in the newspaper industry, the videogame industry and the e-learning industry. In between those jobs, I’ve had freelance writing and editing gigs that, when not writing from home, have taken me to far-off places like Johannesburg, South Africa; Tunica, Mississippi; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Las Vegas, Nevada; Hammond, Indiana, and Walnut Creek, California. I’ve been everywhere, man.
