Our Story
Welcome to Ten Four Gaming (TEN4)!
TEN4 is America’s first and #1 military and first responder gaming community. We frequently host tournaments, contests, raffles, and giveaways for both active duty and veteran military members as well as all first responders.
One of the biggest issues that military members and first responders face today is suicide, depression, and mental health issues. Whether these issues stem from their time in service or simply by not having a place they feel welcomed, we aim to fix those concerns. We work tirelessly, as a family, to help every member conquer the fight against suicide and depression. TEN4 is a place you can call home! We strive to connect members of our military and first responder agencies with each other through one mutual passion; gaming.
Board of Directors
Chris "PrimumRequiem" (CEO)
Hey everyone! I'm Chris and I co-own TEN4 with my brother. I got out of the USAF in 2021. When I joined, I started in Air Traffic and finished my time in as a Aviation Resource Manager. As a gamer, I play a great variety of games and love to try new games with my community whenever I get a chance. Outside of gaming, I love to fish and am always down to find new spots for me and my son to go to. Also my wife got me a smoker and I am learning by trial and error so I am open to any recommendations.
One of the main reasons I believe in TEN4 so deeply is I am a veteran who struggles with my mental health and have seen others go through much the same. I am passionate about making sure everyone has a support system and I am here if anyone needs.
Zack "Trolludown" (CMO)
How's it going?! I'm Zack and I am a co-owner to TEN4. I'm 21 years old, I was previous army as a 13J (Fire direction control specialist). I mainly play on PC but as a pretty hardcore gamer I own every system so if there is a game I wanna try I surely won't miss out. I served one contract and loved 90% of it however, I struggled with my mental health quite frequently while I was in and that lead to my separation. I'm an open book and I love talking with my community, so if you stop by and say hi and want to talk about my life story or yours, I'd be happy to do so! Welcome home!!
Melanie "lilmissmelbel" (CFO)
I am a US Navy veteran who escaped with my DD-214, but not without some trauma. When I got out in 2021, I moved to Arkansas with my husband and son. We now raise too many kids and even more dogs. Which has earned me and many other parents like me the title "Organizer of Chaos." Outside of home and gaming, I am an avid reader and traveler. I have traveled to 49/50 states and hope to get the last one sometime next year.
I work as an automation engineer and am also training with my local firehouse to be a volunteer ('part-time') firefighter. I found a home and friends in TEN4 that I would never have met without the community. I never have to feel alone when I am struggling.
