How did you get into esports?
I got into esports by seeing the program on the school’s website when it was first announced. I was very interested in gaming anyways and already play a competitive game that is played at the colligate level I figured why not give it a shot. 

What’s your favorite game and why?
My favorite game has to be Super Mario Galaxy on the Nintendo Wii as it was the first game I ever completed back in ‘07. it was also the first time my mom let me stay up till 2 am on a weekend because she wanted to see me beat the final boss. 

Why did you choose Concordia?
I chose Concordia because of the DCE program that they have here I have always heard great things about the program and wanted to be a part of it. Along with the Concordia community. Go Dogs. 

What are your esports goals?
My esports goals are to improve my aim in games along with game sense as these are two things that matter a lot in any competitive game. The next is to grow this program because it gives people an outlet for those who can’t compete in a physical sport, or choose not to. Finally would be to grow close as a team and be a great team that kicks butt.
