Nathan Edwards

Nathan "Butters" Edwards is the Web Concierge for Maximum PC, which means he puts the entire magazine online every month. He's also the Community Manager for the Mod Shop, which means he does pretty much everything there.

Nathan joined Maximum PC in July 2007, fresh from a successful gig at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. During his stay at Northwestern, he kept busy with funny voices, semi-funny articles about piracy, privacy, and the internets, various theatrical pursuits, and internships at Scholarships.com and PC Magazine.

Nathan was raised by a family of wolves in a cave in western Pennsylvania. He has lived in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Manhattan, and now lives in the Bay Area.

In addition to PC and console gaming, he enjoys wandering, making terrible music, acting, and adventuring into San Francisco. He lost his fancy phone and had to get an iPhone instead.
