A builder of dynamic communities focused on fun, trust, and transparency

For the past 8 years, I've built and managed communities across multiple platforms and dozens of IPs with one north star: Community should be fun.

From leading subreddits for Destiny, ARK, Fallout, Starfield, and DMZ to working with volunteer teams on wikis for Warcraft, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, and hundreds move, my genre experience is extensive and my ability to wear multiple hats is unmatched.

I most recently launched and managed community for Shankstars with Topgolf, my first shipped game as a member of a development team. Owning all aspects of community from pre-launch was an incredible blank canvas to worth with and applying my previous experience in systems analysis & design to feature development and production was a wonderful blend of my careers.

One of my proudest achievements thus far has to be developing and launching the Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy at Fandom. When I joined Fandom through the acquisition of Curse Media and Gamepedia, the platform had a pretty simple policy for how wiki admins could run their communities: wiki admins can block you for any reason or no reason at all, without fair recourse. I identified this platform-wide policy as a poor experience for users and communities overall, so I sought to change it. After developing an imminently fair replacement that simply stated wikis need clearly-stated rules and admins should block according to those rules, I got executive buy-in on the monumental change and launched it to the community. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Admins finally had guidance on running healthy wiki communities, users had clearly-set expectations for their behavior, and complaints to customer support about admins PLUMMETED. Fandom has much healthier communities today as a result of my policy and I am incredibly proud of that legacy 2.5 years later.

Communities should fun. Communities should be built on trust. Communities deserve transparency. That's what I believe and how I manage communities at scale, whether it's a 14 thousand user subreddit about Starfield lore or a 400 million user platform of individual wikis.
