• President & Founder, UConn Gaming Club

  • Feb 2012 - Aug 2015

  Founded in partnership with my peers, the UConn Gaming Club quickly became the largest student gaming organization in the state. Back in 2012, 'esports' was just called 'gaming with friends' - and we did a LOT of gaming with friends. My team ran viewing parties, Hearthstone tournaments, LAN festivals with hundreds of attendees -- and quickly realized how powerful gaming could be when it was harnessed as a force for good. To date, UCGC has served as a safe haven for thousands of windswept nerds to connect with one another through their shared passion for video games. It has also served as an incubation for notable alumni that now work for Overwatch League teams, esports PR agencies, and Tespa (that's me!). Show less
