Former NFL/CFL athlete turned international sports consultant and project manager, now pivoting into gaming/tech. With 20+ years leading elite teams across six continents, I bring a unique edge in strategy, operations, and cross-cultural leadership. I’m passionate about building high-performing teams and delivering results in fast-paced, tech-driven environments. Now focused on gaming/tech—where innovation, competition, and community collide—I’m eager to contribute to studios and platforms shaping the future of interactive entertainment. Let’s connect if you’re building something bold in gaming, esports, or player performance tech.
