I have competed, coached, taught, and built esports programs for over fifteen years, from international classrooms to nationally ranked varsity rosters. I built Texas A&M-San Antonio’s program from concept into the A&M System’s flagship, founded the Texas Esports Collective to give Texas schools and colleges a real season to play, and served as Chair of NACE’s Eligibility Enforcement Committee. I am one of the few people in this field who has built programs at every level it operates: K-12, collegiate, and statewide.
