Most of my career has been in the digital media space, then I pivoted to SaaS at the start of the pandemic. Absolutely thrilled to now be in the gaming industry.

Q: Why are you joining Modulate?

I am a true believer in Modulate’s mission and what we stand for.Gaming is one of the things that truly brings people together. These spaces need to be protected and it’s far past time someone did something about it in a meaningful way.

I really like open collaborating with a team and making each other stronger. To stay effective I like to keep moving and take necessary breaks. I make a point to feel the sun as much as possible.

Respect, transparency, inclusiveness and passion.

Q: Who are you outside of work?

I’m a dad to an amazing daughter, I love the outdoors, gaming, and playing guitar. I love movies and music, primarily metal but a good song is a good song! My goal this summer is to become good at paddleboarding.

Q: What’s something you’re great at that few people realize?

In my youth, I won a few breakdancing championships.

Q: Leave us with a fun tidbit - a favorite joke, a story from your past, an obscure riddle, whatever you like!

I was adopted when I was three. My birth name is ‘Prince Michael Jackson’. No relation to either sadly.
