Summary

A dynamic leader and innovator, I excel in transforming challenges into opportunities, as demonstrated at BrokenAdmin where I enhanced profitability and customer satisfaction. My strategic planning and exceptional relationship-building skills, coupled with a proficiency in data analysis, have consistently driven success across diverse roles, from IT technician to business owner.

Working as a streamer for twitch I have connected with multiple sponsorships and partnerships. From playing their games, giving quality control, to pushing their product on my brand. Working with multiple video game company’s I have become proficient in finding issues and bugs and given written explanations on how to find and fix the issues. I communicate and educate with an audience averaging 50-100 people each work night, allowing me to build rapport and connect with people globally. Collectively having a community that pushes 50k people. With this platform I play games professionally, using my creative knowledge to help teach and educate those who watch my performance.

As a lead parapsychologist and historian with Zodiac Supernatural, I use my knowledge on the field and over the screen. Where I am on hand searching and locating data that can help us understand more of the paranormal. While I also use my knowledge to teach those who are curious. We have worked with many clients, and worked with individuals seeking help. Our goal is to be quick and efficient and to help make the situation better for everyone.

I combine these skills and use them most nights, when working on the internet. I teach, play games and entertain while also delegating multiple conversations at once. Usually pushing out sponsors and connecting to partnerships for further connections.

Accomplishments

I have worked with computers and played video games since I was 5. Now having over 25 years of experience. With this I’ve been able to have a step up on most people in my field when working on the internet with twitch.


Becoming a parapsychologist, and a historian I have taking the initiative to evolve my understanding of the paranormal. Working with people higher up in this field to gain more knowledge in a field less looked at. On top of my ghost hunting studies that range over 18 years I have become dedicated to understanding and learning the science behind the pseudoscience.


I also am a 2nd degree black belt in teakwondo which has helped me stay focused in times of hardships.


I have grown a community with over 50k people in it, and doing what I can to keep growing it.
