How long have you worked at iCOMBAT?

8 years this August!

Describe a typical day for you?

I typically wake up and let the dogs out at around 06:30. I triage my emails and answer all overnight (overseas) emails and make international calls. Once everything is more or less handled I head in to the office and spend the day calling clients and answering business development matters as well as coordinating with our distributors from overseas.

What do you enjoy most about working at iCOMBAT?

Being part of the laser tag process from the client starting a business they really love to years later knowing they are still doing what they wanted to do.

What are some of the challenges you encounter?

Some countries are hard to get rolling. Hard, but not impossible!

Where have you traveled for trade shows and what do you enjoy most about them?

Singapore, Cambodia, Sweden, Spain, France, and all over the USA. Shows=people and talking, two of my favorite things.

What is something people wouldn’t guess about you?

I battle crime at night and in the darkest parts of the city in tights and flip flops...I'm Ocie Man!

Why iCOMBAT?

When developing the Battle & Birdie concept, the team had a clear vision for what they wanted their laser tag experience to be and it wasn't the traditional arcade-style laser tag many guests grew up with.

“When we were designing Battle & Birdie, we wanted true tactical laser tag rather than the arcade-style version most people grew up with. iCOMBAT is the established name in that category, and the realism and range of game modes fit the competitive experience we were building.”

A More Tactical Take on Laser Tag

For guests, the appeal goes beyond simply picking up a laser tag blaster and running around an arena. The tactical realism and variety of gameplay are two of the biggest draws, with Team Deathmatch and Domination among the most popular missions.

As the Battle & Birdie team puts it:

“Guests consistently tell us it feels closer to an actual mission than a typical laser tag game.”

The combination of our equipment, mission-based gameplay, and a spaceship command center environment helps create an experience that feels different from anywhere else.
