Professional info
I am an eSports personality, journalist and video host with several years of on-camera experience, and an incomprehensible ease with being in front of large, live audiences. My experience with Curse Gaming for 3 years has plunged me into a new love: eSports, and I've been involved in the League of Legends community since July, 2012.
A fan, enthusiast and personality in the industry, I cover eSports events in person all along the West Coast. A member of High Rollers Gaming's Stream Team since February has allowed me to continue my growth as a viable personality and spokesperson, with fans all around the world.
As a live streamer on Twitch.tv, I have pulse on the community; my belief in meritocracy and sportsmanship shape my live stream shows, as I believe that fostering a positive, fun and intelligent stream lends itself to transforming the audience of eSports into one that is inclusive, friendly and, most importantly, fun for everyone.

Video Host for LoLKing.net
October 2013 - present
Corsair Memory has developed a new show, The Upgrade Brigade. Customers are randomly selected from a pool to have their outdated and slow PC's at home upgraded and "flipped"; the process is featured on the show. Extras like gaming periphreals and custom paint-jobs for their cases are also included. I co-host the show, adding a fun, bubbly personality to make customers feel at-home while cameras are on.
Cloth5 has partnered with LoLKing.net, ZAM Network's popular stat-site based around League of Legends. I host their League Trends show, which focuses on the top 5 increases/decreases in picks, bans and win-rates for champions every week.
