That’s a wrap! 4 years of college, 4 majors to go with ‘em. I’ll miss being a Boilermaker, but I’m excited to see where life takes me next. Ever Grateful, Ever True, My Old Friend, Hail Purdue!

It’s been almost a year since I left the team at EA and the game released today! My impact has for sure faded since it’s initial inception but still proud to have another title under my belt.
There's only one place to experience it all ⛳️ Play #TheMasters for the first time available now in #EAPGATOUR 🎮 ➡️ x.ea.com/76477

Take a trip through Paradise. Where leisure meets chaos. Bliss meets disturbance. And Chrome stops for nothing. #FortniteParadise begins now!

Getting back to Indiana at 10am is pretty sick but having to wake up at 2:30am for a 5:15 flight and then a 2 hour layover is not the move.

Looked for a router on Amazon so I don’t have to rent from my ISP, now all my YouTube and twitch ads are for router/modem companies. I just wanted to connect to the internet man

Haven’t been able to say “nice” regarding these guys in a while. Super cool this is happening, big step forward in the industry!
NEW: Activision Blizzard just told staff that all of its 1,100 quality assurance testers will be 1) converted from contract to full-time and 2) bumped up to at least $20/hour. A big win for QA in the wake of several worker revolts and a burgeoning union effort. Story soon
Didn’t see this coming. I’m seeing 3.6 billion floating around but Bungie was not a studio I had on my “getting acquired” list.
Bungie is joining PlayStation. Here’s what to expect from this exciting news: play.st/3IT3SNi
Have a huge amount of respect for Phil. Definitely someone I think is truly trying to better the industry.
Had good calls this week with leaders at Sony. I confirmed our intent to honor all existing agreements upon acquisition of Activision Blizzard and our desire to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. Sony is an important part of our industry, and we value our relationship.
This is is a massive deal, both in terms of money (68.7 billion) and in terms of impact. Microsoft is becoming the Disney of gaming.
Xbox has announced a deal to buy Activision Blizzard, the company behind Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and many other major gaming franchises. bit.ly/3AbLL1C

This is apparently in Indiana. This is insane.

2021 was a pretty great year all things considered. I finished my contract with Epic, moved back to Indiana, accepted a position at EA, watched my sister walk for highschool graduation, became an uncle, got back in competitive smash (albeit slightly) and so much more.

I've made so many friends and reconnected with ones that 2020 kept me away from. I'm super excited for what 2022 brings to my personal and professional life. Thank you to everyone that supported me this year, it truly means a lot.
