Small Town Beginings

Originally from a small Midwestern town of 700 people, in Northwest Illinois, I was home-schooled and worked as a ski & snowboard technician, and as an outboard motor mechanic until setting off to Chicago IL, for Tribeca Flashpoint Academy in 2011.

The City Of Big Shoulders

After graduating from university in 2013, focusing in producing for film and broadcast, I started working on major film studio sets and feature films and later in 2014 began working at Ogilvy & Mather advertising Chicago, on various BtoC and BtoB clients, across media and advertising channels. As well as being Co-Chair to Ogilvy's LGBT diversity and inclusion network, OgilvyPride, and of course, the official in office Board Game Club.

The Move To The Med

In February of 2018, I packed up and moved from the U.S. to the Republic of Cyprus, an island in the Mediterranean, to work at international game developer and publisher Wargaming, on the global marketing team focused on new user acquisition for World of Tanks as Marketing Producer, with a later change to Marketing Manager.

In my spare time, I also taught a H.I.I.T. style, Aerial Silks based fitness class to improve both mind and body.

The City Of A Hundred Spires

In the spring of 2020 in the midst of the global pandemic I relocated to Prague, Czech Republic, to be closer to the development team of World of Tanks, and where I had the honor to work on some of the largest most impactful marketing campaigns of my career.

The Epic Move To London

After close to five years at Wargaming, it was time for a change, and I once again packed my bags, and I headed off to London, U.K. to join the incredible Epic Games Publishing team, as Senior Brand Manager.
