My Story

“I was always driven to the strategy side of games, and am what is termed a ‘honer,’ or someone who is continuously working to optimize their game. But I’m working on becoming a maximalist as well, or someone who does a lot.”

My biggest accomplishment in this space so far is being a match away from qualifying for the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour after innumerable years of overcoming bad mental habits and approaches.

I started from behind and made every conceivable mistake in the book at least 15 times over just to be sure, but over time, I managed to catch up. I would have continued my Magic career and worked hard to do so, but by that point, I had to concern myself with how to make a living instead, and that sort of took over.

From my desire to help others avoid what I went through and reaffirming my passion for gaming and competition, I am now pursuing professional entrepreneurship through Skill Diff Productions.

I deeply admire the G.O.A.T.s of various games and have dreams of becoming one someday in my own way. My biggest inspirations are Jon Finkel, ZywOo, yay, Rafael Nadal, and Michael Jordan.

Here, I will share the lessons I wish I knew a long time ago. Costly lessons that took me a lot of time, introspection, energy, defeats, and research to learn. That way you can get the “lesson without the scar.”

Crucially, I will also showcase the works and videos of leading experts — the people whom I learned many of these lessons from — to help you thrive on this competitive path you have chosen.

If this sounds exciting to you, stick around! And see what Skill Diff Productions can do for you!

Thank you.
