About

Hey! I’m Carson and I’m a recent graduate focused on social media management and community management in the gaming and esports industries.

My industry journey started with my almost four years of leadership with CU Boulder’s gaming community. During my tenure, I worked with other talented students to grow club membership to 3,500 members, becoming one of the largest grassroots collegiate gaming communities in North America.

I was also one of several student leaders responsible for the launch of Pac-U, a grassroots Pac-12 esports conference, now an official partner conference of Riot Game’s College League of Legends.

The experience of building grassroots communities and telling their stories also continued with socials and community-focused roles covering the College Rainbow Six League, College Apex, the Intercollegiate Game Network, and the Apex Spark Series.

I’ve been fortunate to transfer these skills and experiences to the professional level with the development of online communities around Tribe Gaming’s MSTRS tournaments as well as telling stories about the best and brightest student players in eFuse’s College CoD League. 

I am currently looking for work! Send me a message and see the results for yourself.
