I'm a Smash Bros. Community Program Manager since 2015. Esports Caster since 2010. Tournament Organizer since 2009. Competitive Gamer since 2004.

Majoring in Graphic Arts & Design at the New York City College of Technology put me on the right track, coupled with the influence of my peers in the video game industry allowed me to get to where I am today.
