Jef Reahard
- Managing Editor -
Jef is an author, pilot, and scruffy looking nerf-herder, not necessarily in that order. When he's not writing for Massively or slipping the surly bonds of earth, he dreams of the perfect Cool Ranch Dorito.
MMO Burnout is his fault, and he's the creator of Massively's Stick and Rudder, Chaos Theory, The Firing Line, Some Assembly Required, Community Detective, Wings Over Atreia, and The Anvil of Crom.
He has also covered EverQuest II and Darkfall at length, and you'll occasionally find him atop Massively's Soapbox.
