As the Chief Operating Officer of XP League Rocky Mountain, my role is to ensure league operations run smoothly.

Max along with XP League HQ have taught me how to run the day to day player/league operation. I have enjoyed learning all about esports, and humbled that I still have a lot to learn from the players, parents and esports leaders all over the world.

Credentials:

I retain a level 1 Next Level esports coaching certification focused on teamwork, sportsmanship and rewarding positive behaivors.

Favorite games:

I have always had a passion for video games. I remember as a kid, my sister and I getting to go to the video rental store with our parents. We weren't interested in renting a movie. Once we were inside the rental store we ran directly to the video game rental area and started dreaming of what game we wanted to spend the entire weekend playing. Once the car was in park in front of our house, we would race inside to see who could get to play their game first in our Nintendo system. (I would always lose the race to my sister). Since those beginning days, I always saved my money for the next best system. This included the Nintendo 64 which had the title "Crus'n USA" which was the only racing game you could literally play with one hand. I also enjoyed playing FIFA soccer on the Nintendo 64. Most recently, I have really been focused on flight simulation in the title Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, which has the most incredible and realistic graphics of the world.

My esports Mission:

To foster an environment where everyone feels accepted and that we all are focused on teamwork, sportsmanship and rewarding each other for positive behavior.
