EXPERIENCE
Professional & Event Experience
My experience includes game-industry event support, soccer operations, officiating, communication, conflict management, and working in high-pressure environments.
PAX WEST 2021
Event Support
Euphoric Brothers
Human Apocalypse
I helped Euphoric Brothers during PAX West 2021 while they were presenting their game, Human Apocalypse.
Before the event, I helped with booth setup and preparation.
During the convention, I interacted with attendees and helped bring people toward the booth who seemed interested in the game or who could help give the project additional attention.
The experience gave me an early opportunity to see how an indie game is presented directly to players at a major gaming convention.

COLORADO SOCCER ASSOCIATION
Soccer Referee
Refereeing has given me years of experience making decisions quickly, communicating clearly, managing disagreements, and working as part of an officiating team.
Matches require constant attention and the ability to make impartial decisions under pressure while maintaining control of the game.
Decision Making
Make rapid and impartial decisions during competitive matches.
Conflict Management
Handle disagreements involving players and coaches while maintaining composure and professionalism.

WHAT I BRING FORWARD
Skills beyond programming
These experiences have helped me become comfortable communicating with different groups of people, adapting quickly when situations change, and making decisions when there is not much time available.
I bring those same skills into software and game development when debugging problems, collaborating with others, and working through unfamiliar technical challenges.
