–Everyone (ever)
David is an award-winning board game designer, who co-designed Finspan, Monkey Palace, Floristry, Crafting The Cosmos, Push Push Penguin, and several other games. David is also the co-founder of UP Games, which partnered with Asmodee for the worldwide release of Floristry, which launched as Game of the Month at Barnes & Noble. David has had a lifelong passion for games and art: he played billiards, poker, chess, and fantasy sports at high levels, pursued a PhD in music composition, and founded the Look & Listen Festival, which presented new music concerts in art galleries in NYC for 20 years. He delights in play-testing games with friends and family, and in playing piano accompanied by two beautiful singing beagles.
The Tantrum House Crew is made up of several married couples who have been playing games together for decades: Will & Sara Meadows, Ryan & Katie Pilz, Kevin & Melissa Delp, and Jonah & Shantelle Dew (plus the kids and friends)! They are passionate about the growth and promotion of the tabletop hobby because they believe that games have incredible power to connect people and bring them joy. They are excited to host TantrumCon each year and are thrilled to welcome y'all to the house! You can learn more about them and get to all of their social channels at www.TantrumHouse.com
