Video games and sports were a core part of my childhood. I’d get lost in Skyrim for hours. League of Legends taught me a number of lessons from teamwork, getting good at one thing, (one champion, one role to climb), and how to stay calm under pressure while being flamed. Football taught me discipline while wrestling taught me that sometimes you just suck (and also to watch your opponent).

Because of that, I always imagined myself building fun and exciting products for people to relax, compete, and connect with others. This led me into software where I do exactly that.

I’m always open to conversations, and specifically I love talking to passionate people about games they love whether it’s football, hearthstone, or scrabble. Feel free to connect and ask me a question.
