The Beginning…

When I was 3 years old…

I started conquering my first series of platformers on the NES, Super Mario and Castlevania. There was a love for this digital medium that I wouldn’t come to realize and appreciate until my mid-life. I battled a broken home and developed a coping mechanism through the fantasy-driven aesthetics and released frustration through conquering mechanics in a sandbox.

This later turned into competitive behavior when FPS genres became more popular with the release of the Xbox and Xbox Live. I devoted myself to developing a winning team of players and competing in some of the first eSports arenas that Major League Gaming (MLG) provided for Halo 2. I’ve attended locals, regionals, and majors such as EVO Las Vegas competing in Street Fighter. Intel Extreme Masters, The International, and Dreamhack are on my bucket list and will hopefully be fulfilled in some capacity even if competing isn’t in question.

I’ve met my closest friends, you know, the friends you consider family through gaming. We try to meet up every year, even though we all live throughout the US. We always have Discord and our online meeting space, our virtual gaming room. The culture brings people together and all the bad press about the toxic culture that games bring isn’t completely true. This ‘toxic’ culture can manifest itself anywhere when it is unchecked. That’s why I’m a huge advocate for the gaming culture and building positive communities anywhere I devote my time.
