About this Episode

Stephen “Shanghai Six” Machuga deftly avoids falling down the World of Warcraft well with CV as he shares the story of how he started his non-profit, Stack Up, as a way to bring veterans and civilian supporters together through a shared love of video gaming.

Stephen talks about the programs Stack Up offers, gaming as recreation therapy, and opportunities for American Legion members to connect.
