Easily the coolest job ever. I have no idea how to condense 10 years of being part of one the most iconic YouTube channels in history, but here's an attempt...

The first time I saw Spacestation Gaming compete was in 2017 at SMITE World Championships in Atlanta, Georgia. I was OBSESSED with the game and was instantly an SSG fan. The founder, Shonduras, and I have collabed in the past and now, years later, I have the incredible honor of joining Spacestation Gaming as a co-owner.
My journey in gaming started at SMOSH and it continues on with Spacestation Gaming. I'm fortunate to work with some of the best folks in the industry and the vibiest esports org in the universe.

Minecraft laid the groundwork for some of my most memorable work on YouTube with Maricraft (50MM+ views) on SMOSH Games. Thanks to this 2022 collab (and some awesome folks at Microsoft), I found myself stepping away from behind my gaming monitor and onto the international fashion scene.
