Icarus Parks is a native Minnesotan who abhors the cold. Growing up he chose to build LEGO castles over tree forts and the fishing line was re-purposed to suspend Transformers into epic battle scenes. The discovery of board games and fantasy RPGs put the nail in the nerd coffin for Icarus. With a keen eye and passion for unique tactics, Icarus spent a decade as a successful military strategist. Modern times are spent coaching youth athletics, modifying his beloved car, and watching shows with his perpetually angsty rescue cat, Ares.
