Career

Emery started with a retheme project of Godzilla based on a Williams firepower II.[2] He went on to design his own pinball machine called "pinball zombies from beyond the grave", which has been turned into a Rob Zombie themed pinball with updated layout.[3] He currently runs a pinball company called "Spooky Pinball",[1] named after his podcast. Spooky Pinball is currently manufacturing 150 units of "America's Most Haunted" designed by Benjamin Heckendorn.[4]

Emery worked for a printing company from 1992-2013 before starting his pinball company.[5] Many of the techniques he learned have carried over to pinball, including direct printing to playfields and cabinets. He has been podcasting since April 2010.[6] He often has his family on, including his children (Bug and Squirrel) who do skits to advertise products, as well as pinball and horror related celebrities.[7]
