My love of games has always been rooted in their communities. For over a decade, Iโ€™ve been helping developers build partnerships with their vibrant communities.

What else I do

I love playing games that bring people together, which currently includes a potentially unhealthy amount of Destiny and Elite Dangerous.

Iโ€™m also a bit of a PC hardware nerd and Iโ€™m very experienced in building computers and mechanical keyboards. No, I wonโ€™t fix yours.

My partner and I have several pets, all of which may starve if you donโ€™t hire me. Here is a picture of the dumbest one.

Pictured: Miso, the dumbest one.

I know youโ€™re probably trying to read over my past experience and this image keeps distracting you, and that isnโ€™t really great for the flow of the page, but I just need more people to see it.
