E-Sports Career
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
I started playing Counter-Strike when I was 16 years old. I was first introduced to Counter-Strike by one of my best friend and was hooked as soon as I sat down. Then right when I got a new computer and video card (nVidia FX 5200) I started playing in random public servers. After about 6-7 months of that I joined my first CAL-Open team (funC) with some of my local friends and played with them until we disbanded. Then after about 1 month of pugging with some of my other friends teams I joined a CAL-Open team and we went 6-2 but, that was the season that they took out CAL-Intermediate. Recently after Intermediate was taken out I joined a team called think about it that was also CAL-Open and played with them from Open-Main.

Shortly after our second season of CAL-Main I decided after realizing I was a mediocre player I wanted venture into a different aspect of E-Sports (Management). After helping think About it gain numerous sponsorships I realized I was a better manager then a player and decided management was best for me. Then after managing for think About It for 1 season I was approached by the Green Berets Gaming Organization and asked if I would like to be the Co-Manager. After a few days of careful consideration I accepted their offer as Co- Manager. Then a few months later I became Head Manager.

In  2006 I decided to start my gaming organization called Sway Gaming with a few friends of mine. The team became pretty well known and after a few years as owner/manager of the organziation I decided to turn it over to a good friend of mine named Ian Olson. Ian helped Sway Gaming to become one of the most recognized gaminging organizations in North America. Sway Gaming currently sits as an inactive project for both Ian and myeslf as the players have joined a new gaming organization.
