My Career just became a Riot!

BIG NEWS EVERYONE!

I am ...
officially ...
a ...
RIOTER !!!


I am very excited to announce that I've accepted an offer from Riot Games and will be starting in the beginning of October! 

I'll be entering the world of live operations of Riot as their new Technical Program Manager II, Live Operations!

Needless to say, this is absolutely exciting on so many levels for me! Riot Games was formed when I graduated High School when I only dreamed about being a game developer. I find it kind of ironic to grow together side-by-side all these years and it's been amazing watching their success from the sidelines!

Plus, in recent years, Riot now has entered into mobile games, an FPS, a digital CCG, tabletop games, and even MORE exciting games on the way! Like their upcoming MMORPG and Fighting games! :O Riot is even getting involved with publishing (Riot Forge) as well as other projects with music, TV, and film too. The future ahead is bright!


There is just SO much to be excited about this opportunity, I could type for DAYS, but I won't! lol... 


Here's what I'll be doing ... !
