How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I was first introduced to VR and AR technologies in the 90's. I have always had a love for technology and I enjoy learning about and developing immersive technologies for gaming. 10 years ago, I started NextReality Studios to be a tech company focusing on web development, and IT services. It has since grown to include Digital Marketing services, and now arcade and VR gaming entertainment.

We currently have 1 location and do have ambitions to expand. We currently have outgrown the facility we are in and would love to move into a larger space, that would allow us to expand our VR arena for larger event play, but also to be able to provide other family entertainment attractions such as tech-driven mini golf platform, or AR mini bowling. We would also like to open up additional facilites across the midwest.

What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
Favorite Quote:
I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately,
I wanted to suck out all the marrow of life,
To put to rout all that was not life
and not when I had come to die, discover I had not lived. - Henry David Thoreau
One of my favorite Bible verses:
Psalm 37:23-24
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
Isaiah on 6/11/2023 1:19:24 PM
