Andrew & Linda Bub

Andrew S. Bub, also known as GamerDad, has spent over 25 years writing about video games, movies, and children. He shifted from magazine journalism to focus on media violence and educating parents, collaborating with various outlets and policymakers. After suffering two strokes in 2022 that affected his vision and cognitive abilities, Andrew used board games as therapy and now shares these strategies as “BrainerDad.” His wife, Linda Bub, is an advanced practice nurse and educator with 35 years of experience. Together, they will present on using games to promote health and well-being in brain injury recovery.

When people think of brain injury recovery, they think of hours of therapy, not fun and games. For those that don’t qualify for therapy or those looking to supplement therapy with something fun, board games are a way to do just that! Learn how games can help in recovery, allow you to see progress over time and just have fun! Andrew and his wife Linda (a gerontological Clinical Nurse Specialist and nurse educator) discuss gaming and the impact on brain health and wellbeing as well as a fun way to improve overall health and wellbeing. Andrew and his wife have presented to clinical professionals and the community on using games for recovery, health promotion, and sharing a passion for gaming.

Tammy also works as a paramedic in Marshalltown when she is not at CISS.
In her free time, Tammy likes to go scuba diving, running, camping and watch hockey. Her spirit animal would be an elephant, "they have so much power but never yield it, only for protection or to help other animals".
