Hello
Founder and CEO of X Element — a lifestyle, sports, and media company focused on elevating gamers, athletes, and creators.
X Element currently fields competitive esports teams, a paintball team, and produces content with a combined audience of over 300K followers and subscribers. I've led our teams across the country, competing and making connections from Miami, Chicago, and Boston to Kansas City, Texas, and Las Vegas with our semipro Call of Duty and TEKKEN 8 players.
In addition to X Element, I also serve as the Esports Coordinator for the Junction City Twisters, where I built the entire program from the ground up—managing a $40K budget, selecting equipment, launching competitive teams, and developing educational sessions to teach players how to grow on and off the stage.
Born and raised in the Midwest and a U.S. Army National Guard veteran, I’m currently studying Business and Esports Management at Full Sail University.

All About Me
For the past four years, building X Element has been more than a passion—it’s been a mission. I set out to create a proving ground where anyone with heart, hustle, and talent could chase a future in competitive sports, no matter their background. Diversity, opportunity, and raw drive are at the core of everything we do.
My journey wasn’t traditional. I stepped away from esports young, lacking support and direction. Fifteen years of grinding—from farm management to roofing crews to serving in the U.S. Army National Guard as an 11B infantryman—taught me discipline, resilience, and how to lead from the front. I eventually found my way back to where I belonged: building platforms for others in gaming and sports.
Now, alongside running X Element, I lead the Twisters—a city-backed esports program in Junction City, Kansas. I designed the entire ecosystem from scratch, empowering youth and young adults to compete, create, and grow into professionals. Between tournaments, sponsorship deals, and mentoring the next wave of players, I’ve never been more focused.
Balancing full-time work, running X Element and the Twisters, and studying at Full Sail University keeps my nights long, but every step proves what’s possible when you don’t let go of your vision.
