INFORMATION

Biography:
I was born here in Florida and this is where I've lived my entire life so far. I haven’t had the chance to travel outside of the United States, but I have visited a few other states. Someday, I would love to travel more and see the world, but I have a fear of flying, even though I've never even been on a plane. Hopefully I can get over that.

From as early as I can remember, I fell in love with video games. I remember starting my online journey on the family computer with ToonTown Online and Pirates of the Caribbean Online. It didn’t take long for me to realize how much I enjoy creating communities and bringing people together. It’s very rewarding to see the friendships and bonds that form because of these efforts.

Throughout my life gaming and hosting an assortment of communities, I’ve met some amazing people and made lifelong friends who I couldn’t live without. This passion has grown over the years, becoming a big part of my life and even turning into a job. I'm so grateful that I can combine my love for games with my talent for fostering connections among people. It really make life worth living.

Hobbies and Interests:
I've already mentioned some of this in my biography, but I really love community management and gaming. Meeting new people and creating connections while playing our favorite games is just amazing. Some of my favorite games are ARK, Guild Wars 1 and 2, and pretty much any MMORPG. I also enjoy ARMA 2 and 3.

Beyond gaming, I like going out for a nice bike ride. For those who know me on Discord, there are times when I'll turn on my phone’s webcam and share the scenery while I ride. Or, you might just get a look at my beautiful face too, haha. Stop by when you see me in the Public Hangout in Discord sometime! I'd love to meet you.

Requiem Journey:
I've obviously been with Requiem since the very beginning, and it's incredible to see how much we've grown and evolved as a community. I really wish I could say that I knew how to get things right at the start but that's not the case. Requiem has evolved and grown so far over the years teaching me many important lessons along the way.

Requiem wasn't always called Requiem, actually. When I created the Discord Server, we were known as Darkblade Army, a small community centered around my Twitch livestreams. I don't stream on my personal account anymore, but when I do, it's on the Requiem Twitch channel.

Before Sea of Thieves, Darkblade Army was primarily a Guild Wars 2 guild. We then moved on to Destiny 2 and had around 5 full clans which helped us to grow, but we never broke 1,000 members until we rebranded as Requiem and officially started our Sea of Thieves community at the end of 2019. Since then, Requiem has grown beyond anything I could have ever hoped or dreamed. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm excited to see where we go from here.

Favorite Game:
ARK: Survival Evolved (Ascended)
I really don't know what it is about ARK that has intrigued me so much but it definitely has my most amount of hours. Guild Wars 2 may be a close second but ARK has to be my favorite. It's the place where I met some of the best people in my life, although I have lost connection with some, those memories with be cherished forever.

Fun Facts:

  • I love Disney a bit too much.

  • I have 2 Huskies that are pretty much my children.
