Joe Swanson
Founder
Timezone: MST-7 (no DST) US
Languages: English
About Me: Hello! A little about myself: me and Bonnie have three young boys age 4, 7, and 8. Our life is pretty crazy sometimes. GE certainly has grown from its humble beginnings. I work from home now keeping the servers running and making sure everything is in tip-top shape. My current plan is for GE to be a one-stop community, where you can come enjoy the games you love with other enthusiasts. The dream is for GE to eventually become a full service game-hosting platform. Currently the community's support is what keeps our servers alive and my family fed! So thank you for your support, and welcome to Gaming-Evolved!

Vice President
Admin for Atlas, Ark, Conan, and 7 Days to Die
Time zone: Eastern USA
Languages: English, a little Spanish
Games Played: Atlas, Ark, Conan, 7Days2Die
About Me: I started playing Atlas late 2019. After 3 official seasons, I bounced around to a few private servers and ended up at GE in April 2021. I was surprised at the wholesome community I found here, and gladly accepted when Joe asked me to be Admin. Since then I’ve worked hard to make GE the best family-friendly and fun destination for gamers. I'm married to a wonderful hubby and I have a job so I'm not available 24/7, but I keep tabs at all times through my phone. I'm very proud to be Admin with Joe, Bonnie, and the Team. Welcome to Gaming-Evolved!
Inuyasha1604
Admin for Empyrion, Atlas, and Ark
Time zone: PST (California)
Languages: English
Games played: Atlas, Ark, & Rust
About Me: I have been a gamer for quite a while. I don't consider myself a "fan-boy" but if you bring up Fallout I will talk your ear off or chat your fingers off. I dabble in multiple genres of games but my passion is for my simulator games. So if you don't see me in one of our games be safe to assume I'm flying virtually around the world or going on virtual road trips. I tend to stay out of voice chats due to my dogs loving to be loud and annoying especially when in chats but if you can tolerate them I'm more than happy to jump in calls and "socialize" for a bit.

Bonnie Swanson
Founder Wife
Timezone: MST US
Languages: English
About Me: Joe and I have 3 young boys who keep me on my toes lol. I'm shy and not super tech savvy but I do help wherever I can. I've always loved helping others. On the first Atlas server Joe played on he found a great company. I would borrow Joe's computer when he was sleeping and gather resources for him. The server slowly became too toxic and the company chose to leave and tried to find a new server. To keep the company together and not deal with the same toxicity, GE was born! Joe created GE to be a family-friendly community, non-toxic, and without abuse for people to just have fun together. Thanks to the hard work from Joe and all GE staff the server has grown into a huge community. I'm proud to be a part of Gaming-Evolved.
