  1. Why did you choose this SC2 race?

    The flames, tanks and guns - it's a fun race to control!

  2. What do you do for a living?

    I write code to automate processes that people do manually for testing of software & hardware. This results in a better, more reliable product.

  3. What do you love about your job?

    I love saving people from doing repetitive tasks. I also love the work environment at Qualcomm, and the people that work here are great.

  4. What other hobbies do you have?

    I've been playing guitar for about 14 years - both acoustic and electric. I even worked in a guitar store for a few years in high school, where I had to clean & fix guitars. I spent many hours hanging out and play with various musicians.

  5. Why do you play StarCraft?

    I love the tactical decisions you have to make, and the pressure to make good decisions quickly. It's like playing a musical instrument - you have to concentrate fully and give it your all.

  6. How long have you been playing?

    I've been playing Starcraft 2 since its release date! I played Brood War occasionally, but that was a decade ago.

  7. What have you done to prepare for the momentous challenge that is the AHGL?

    I regularly watch the GSL, and especially focus on watching games from pro terran players. GSL has so far tended to have a significant amount of TvT's so that has become my most-studied matchup. I also download and study replays from pros like MVP and MarineKing. I also watch live streams of pro terrans playing ladder games - StarTale_Rainbow is my favorite.

  8. Who is the best player on your team? Why?

    We shall see...
