I'm a lifelong gamer and sports fan who made a career out of my passion, spending 15 years on leadership, strategy, and process at some of my favorite organizations in the industry, including Riot Games and Madison Square Garden.

Gaming and sports both go back a long way for me. I've been a gamer ever since my dad brought home a Super Nintendo when I was four, and my love of basketball started with growing up watching Michael Jordan on Christmas Days at my grandparents' in Chicago.

I ran hurdles in high school, and these days I play basketball, golf and a little pickleball, despite tearing my Achilles in spring '25. As a fan, I love the Knicks (in five!), and in the Premier League, for better or worse, I'm still a big Tottenham supporter.

I'm pretty good at most games and a master of none. League of Legends has taken up the better part of my life since the beta - both personally and professionally. Otherwise, I'll play just about any genre. My all-time favorites are: EA FC, World of Warcraft, and Final Fantasy.

I love tabletop games too. My friends and I have a monthly Blood on the Clocktower game, I've been playing a bunch of Riftbound, and my favorite board game is 7 Wonders - a game for which I made the final table at the 2026 World Series of Board Gaming. You can usually find me at Gen Con, PAX Unplugged and PAX East.

Recently, I've been building small tools with AI for my fantasy leagues and for World of Warcraft - those are on the projects page.
