I am a specialist in the world of esports after having competed for over a decade in the Counter-Strike franchise. Most notably, I spent my first 5 years with Evil Geniuses, then another 4 with Cloud9. I remained mostly as part of an undisputed #1 team in North America for around a decade. By following my passion for interacting with people and engaging with communities, I have become a recognized authority in the esports space. I have gathered experience not only by competing and leading small teams, but by helping with marketing campaigns, brand/community development, public speaking on panels, fund raising, founding a players association, creating and producing original content, talent management, and most recently: strategic planning and advising for start ups in the esports space.
