In my words From my 2020 Voyage MIA interview (opens in new tab), in my words.
I built or modified my first computer at seven. Games and computers were always around.
Around 16 I played Gears of War competitively, then built my first real gaming PC and went all-in on PC gaming.
I joined online clans, became VP of one of the biggest of its time, then branched off and started my own on a "round table" model. I ran the game servers so people could connect.
At the DAVE School, inside Universal Studios Florida, I studied digital animation and VFX and picked up some film credits along the way.
Clans had no place to meet in person, so I opened one: East Coast Gaming in Hollywood, FL, in 2017. From there came FURIA, Wynwood and live events, and now Paint Creek Technologies and GameLister.
"There is absolutely no luck whatsoever involved in this industry… everything has been built from the ground up." Verified ↗ source: Voyage MIA (opens in new tab)
