Community is my foundation...

I started schooling in the comfort of my own home. My best friend was named Sam, and I’d only see him for a couple of hours every week at church. It wasn’t until the second grade that I attended my first “real” school. I remember making my first friend, bonding over a Monsters Inc. McDonald’s toy he’d taken out to the playground. In that moment, I realized my interest in movies and video games could be a bridge for me to connect with people. Since then I’ve created opportunities for myself and others to make meaningful connections. Online multiplayer games and in-person Dungeons & Dragons campaigns are my comfort zones where I’ve made lifelong friendships. My warm nature, curiosity, and whit have taken me to places I’d never imagine, and my ability to build meaningful and grounded connections has opened so many doors to grow both as a person and a professional. I’ve even attended weddings and become an uncle thanks to the friendships I’ve fostered through games like Destiny, Overwatch, and Valorant. My goal is to create as many opportunities as possible for players to connect, and foster communities for people to engage in deep conversation providing valuable feedback to developers. Almost every night, I’m in Discord with my friends

And entertainment is my cornerstone.

A love for gaming, film, and live entertainment are at the core of who I am. I’ve spent 10’s of thousands of hours delving into dungeons, unraveling exciting stories filled with adventure, and working alongside friends to solve puzzles or beat our opponents.
