    E11, Smooth Operator with Ian Thorley

    On this episode I had the opportunity to sit with Ian Thorley of Summit Arcade. On the show we discuss his Pinball Empire in the heart of the Colorado Rockies. Starting from the ground up as an operator to being onsite in multiple locations I gained some amazing insight. From collecting to maintaining a fleet of games his are some of the cleanest and best playing pins I have ever played! You can find one of his amazing collections in Frisco Colorado at CO Bar.  Oh yeah he’s a professional snow boarder to boot. What an amazing episode, thank you Ian!
