It was in my junior year of college when I was really thinking about my plans of either going into graduate school to pursue a career in quantum mechanics, I was studying chemistry, or go into e-sports. It has always been my dream to play on the big stage, but I always had a doubt if going to e-sports would be a reliable career.

Then one day I was watching some highlight reels on YouTube of pros doing big plays in big tournaments, and it just reminded me of how much I wanted to compete with other skilled players. So that's when I decided to leave the graduate school path and put everything I can into gaming in an attempt to live my dream.

What was the first FPS (First Person Shooter) you played?

SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs

What draws you to Call of Duty? How long have you been playing it?

"I've been playing Call of Duty since Call of Duty 4, so about 13 years. Shooters have always drawn my attention so that being said COD was always a top shooter game, but as I continued to play COD I realized that it had more elements to it than just landing your shots and taking out other players, as does every other game but I was able to see that for COD."

How much time do you dedicate to practice on average per day?

4 to 7 hours.

What advice do you have for new players?

"Find a gun you like and just focus on that gun. There's no need to keep switching guns over to what’s the new meta of guns because stats and DPS only matter if you're landing your shots. [Comfort] is what matters most."
