ONE MISSION, MANY PROJECTS

Gaming can open doors to learning, work, and belonging.

I founded iGameUSA to explore how games can support perspective-taking, soft skills, inclusion, and community. My other projects connect that mission with accessible play, education, consumer testing, esports, workforce pathways, and Idaho community development.
