Varsity Head Coach of VALORANT at Champlain College
OVERWATCH
Overwatch was the first video game I ever cared for competitively, starting in High School. I would wake up at 4 am every weekday to watch live matches from Korea because I couldn't stand to miss the action. Freshman year of college, I began the semester as an assistant coach and ended as the head coach of the team. I continued this momentum and position for three years leading the program to a top 60 finish in the North American collegiate circuit while competing in LAN tournaments across the New England area.

With the release of Valorant in 2020, I quickly became invested in micro and macro aspects of play and became the Head Coach of Champlain Colleges' first official Varsity Esports team.

Only halfway through our season, we have placed in one of the top divisions in the largest New England Valorant tournament and looking forward to further growth.
