Hi all -
We have another new Community Manager that has joined the Diablo team! He has already gone around and posted a couple times on some support related items, but this is his formal introduction. Welcome TheHooley! He is a former Overwatch Community Manager and is now helping out on all things Diablo going forward.
Glad to have another great person to join us and to help out especially one with such a fantastic Michigander accent!
Hello, my friends. Stay awhile and listen.
My name is TheHooley, although some of you may know me as Tom Powers, from my time corresponding with you on the OW forums. A few weeks ago, I joined the Diablo CMTY Team!
I wanted to introduce myself and briefly express how excited I am to join you on these forums. For Overwatch in the past, I often engaged daily and coordinated with the developers to address pressing issues impacting the game. I believe that type of interaction and transparency make platforms such as these a special place. And I, along with my teammates, will aspire to do the same here on the Diablo front.
This year has been challenging, but it’s communities like this one that make our day-to-day easier. Coming here to engage in social discourse on a game we all cherish is a beautiful thing. Let’s continue that legacy. So, thank you for your time; I look forward to interfacing with you all.
Have a fantastic week,
Tom Powers

Hey there, to answer your question, the exploration of Sanctuary and the progression of the story. I’m a lore fanatic, and I love world-building, especially in dark fantasy IPs. So, I can’t wait to see what’s in store with D4. The settings in Diablo titles have always been extraordinary characters on their own.
Usually when someone writes “No offense” they mean to be offensive 
Nev did a lot! There are a ton of things ramping up in the Diablo universe with Immortal and IV on the horizon so we are staffing up to make sure we get can have equal coverage when those games are fully online.
Likewise, we do beyond work that most people see here. It’s why we aren’t able to spend most of our times on the forums or just interacting in communities. A lot of community work that Nev and this group does is tied into a lot of work around game teams, marketing, public relations, etc.
Nev also had others on the CM team including Steph Bayer who didn’t post much but was also another great CM who left a few months before her. Both Nev and her were fantastic and great friends
